Introduction

Organisations ultimately succeed or fail based on the integrity of their leadership. Ethics and compliance are no longer abstract ideals; they are operational necessities that influence reputation, performance, stakeholder confidence, and long-term sustainability. Leaders are increasingly expected not only to comply with rules, but to model ethical behaviour, reinforce standards, and respond decisively when values are tested.

It focuses on ethical leadership behaviours, governance responsibilities, compliance awareness, and the ability to navigate ethical dilemmas confidently.
