How Do Professional Engineers Practice Ethical Followership?

Includes a Live Web Event on 10/09/2024 at 2:00 PM (EDT)

Experience Level: Any level of experience

Leaders play an important role in fostering ethical behavior at work, serving as role models for how to act and how to navigate ethical dilemmas. However, the impact they have is ultimately determined by whether and how others will follow them. Similarly, followers make important contributions to "co-producing" ethical leadership, especially when they receive an unethical directive or request and need to determine how to respond. 

In this webinar, participants will explore the phenomenon of followership and consider their contributions as ethical leaders and ethical followers. They will also get to know the results of Dr. Payne's research on ethical followership, which draws from interviews with professional engineers in the United States. We will discuss how professional engineers practice ethical followership and what results they achieve. We will also identify what steps engineering leaders and their firms can take to foster ethical followership. 

Learning Outcomes:

1. To understand the phenomenon of followership, particularly as it applies to ethical leadership.

2. To identify ethical follower behaviors and their outcomes.

3. To develop plans for fostering ethical leadership and ethical followership within the firm.
