Ethical Leadership
and Followership
for Engineers

Ethical awareness is essential for acting with integrity and making sound decisions, especially when engineers face pressure, ambiguity, or competing demands. In this session, participants will explore how leadership and followership shape ethical behavior in organizations and how both roles influence the navigation of ethical dilemmas. They will examine follower styles and the conditions that enable individuals to uphold ethical standards even when it is challenging to do so. They will also consider how to communicate and act in ways that co-create ethical leadership. By the end of the session, participants will have a plan for how to lead and follow ethically and contribute to a workplace where doing the right thing is both expected and supported.
