About this learning event

Accountability is crucial for both personal and professional development. It entails the responsibility to take accountability for your actions and being prepared to face the consequences, whether positive or negative. In this online course, we will support young leaders in gaining a better understanding of their roles as public sector managers. We will delve into the underlying principles and behaviors, addressing the changing nature of organizational cultures in theory and practice.

Discussions will evolve around implementing key behaviors associated with accountability, such as responsibility, obligation, autonomy, and authority. These concepts will be reinforced through thoughtful and strategic exercises throughout the course. Moreover, this online course will highlight the importance of professional and personal integrity, emphasizing ethical behavior and commitment to moral and ethical principles and values, such as honesty, honor, dependability, and trustworthiness.
