Centre for Ethical Leadership Information

The Centre for Ethical Leadership conducts internationally regarded academic research and delivers programs and tools to develop the ethical leadership capability of both executive and emerging leaders. The CEL is dedicated to developing leaders with the capacity to thrive within an increasingly disruptive world. We advance leaders who embrace disruption with a positive spirit and proactive mindset, all the time framing their decisions with moral courage and clarity. Our research agenda is a demonstrable force in enlightening leaders to both the moral and commercial advantages of embracing the principle of fairness in decision making. Transformational times demand transformational leaders who not only engage in morally rich storytelling, but also leaders who live and embody the story line. Based at Ormond College, University of Melbourne, the CEL delivers the Vincent Fairfax Fellowship™, our flagship ethics program for executive level leaders, and the two-day Ethical Leadership Program. Since its establishment, the CEL's major research project has been Gender Equality Project, a comprehensive research & training project, sponsored by leading organisations to identify new insights to address women’s lack of representation at the most senior levels of organisations.
