Training

Ethical Decision-Making for Senior Leaders equips senior leaders in the Tasmanian public sector with the skills and confidence to navigate complex, high-pressure environments with integrity and accountability.

This practical, discussion-based session moves beyond compliance to examine how senior decision-makers exercise judgement when faced with difficult, contested, or highly scrutinised situations. Participants will explore the realities of executive decision-making – including competing priorities, ambiguity, and reputational risk – and build confidence in taking actions that are transparent, defensible, and aligned with the public interest.

The session covers:

• Applying sound judgement under pressure
• Recognising and managing conflicts of interest
• Bridging the gap between knowing the right action and following through
• Using a simple decision-making framework to support fair, informed, and accountable outcomes
• Creating a culture of integrity where employees feel safe to raise concerns and speak up.
