Governance is often associated with boards and formal corporate structures, but everyday managerial decisions also influence organisational risk, fairness and trust. This course introduces practical ethical and governance principles that managers can apply to routine decisions and team leadership. It focuses on accountability, consistency, transparency and responsible use of managerial authority.

Participants examine situations involving competing interests, incomplete information, organisational pressure and decisions that may affect different stakeholders differently. The course provides structured approaches for testing assumptions, considering consequences and documenting important decisions where appropriate. It helps managers connect day-to-day leadership behaviour with the wider governance culture of the organisation.
