Ethical Leadership Project: The Worcester World of Work Workshop

Abstract

This one-day event took place on the 26 May 2007 at the offices of Nehawu. The workshop attracted 70 young worker leaders of Worcester. Dr Clint Le Bruyns facilitated the event with the assistance of Ms Sue Mcwatts and Dr Gordon Dames. The participants represented 70 young worker leaders from Worcester. The workshop focused on the theme: “Ethical Leadership in the World of Work”. The objectives of the workshop were: (1) to contribute to the public good (democratic ideals, human rights culture, social capital development, moral renewal); (2) to serve the COSATU Young Workers Leadership Campaign – a modest, concrete, critical means ‘to empower a critical number of leaders … with knowledge, skills and values to foster moral transformation’ in society through their particular roles and practices of responsibility in the world-of-work and labour movement contexts; and (3) to collaborate, now and in the future with COSATU.
