We'll explore five core moral values that are consistently recognized across cultures, drawing from Moral Foundations Theory to offer leaders a research-based framework for understanding moral conflict. These values—care/harm, fairness/cheating, loyalty/betrayal, authority/subversion, and purity/degradation—help explain why people respond differently to ethical issues in the workplace.
​
Grounded in robust psychological research, this session will show how these moral foundations shape our judgments of others, especially in complex or emotionally charged situations.
​
The goal is to help leaders recognize how moral intuitions can unconsciously bias decision-making—and to better navigate moralized conflicts at work with the ability to see alternative perspectives.
