Leaders’ behaviour, and the signals they send, is more important than simply communicating a strategy. Why is this? How do boards monitor the tone they are setting? And how do leaders ensure they provide ethical leadership? Tone from the Top author, Ian Muir, guides us through the essentials in this 30-minute webinar.

After 30+ years developing and delivering global HR strategy programmes, Ian now works with investors, CEOs, leadership teams, and individuals to improve organisational performance. Board evaluation, executive assessment, international acquisition due diligence, improving top team effectiveness, executive mentoring, and senior HR consulting assignments have been undertaken for VCs, listed PLCs, overseas subsidiaries, private equity portfolio companies, investment banking, professional services, one of the largest financial regulators, utilities, and the not-for-profit sector.

In this seminar we will cover:

1. What “Tone from the Top” means
2. What boards can do improve culture, ethics, and behaviour
3. How boards can ensure that the ethical and cultural leadership they provide trickles down and pervades throughout the organisation
4. Whether organisational culture and behaviour improves organisational performance?
5. How boards can monitor behaviour
6. The link to reward mechanisms
7. Whether board selection exercises should assess ethics & behaviour
8. The role of organisational “purpose” and of diversity
