Leadership place significant demands on the person occupying it. Dissonance between self-identity, core values and lived responsibilities are often felt, which are not easily resolved in the context of fast-moving organisational life, as well as external pressures and accountabilities.

This workshop and briefing seeks to offer a space to reflect on such tension in role and the relationship between leadership, values and the sustaining of the self in professional life and the resources available to ease the burden of such stresses. It will explore whether and how leaders’ professional lives can remain congruent with their values, while navigating the realities of organisational work.

Religion and belief increasingly appear in workplace situations, in conversations about identity, inclusion, freedom of expression and organisational culture. Yet many organisations feel uncertain about how to approach these questions in a thoughtful and confident way.

This briefing introduces the idea of faith and belief literacy as a practical professional capability, helping participants understand how religion and belief operate within organisational life and how these issues can be approached with greater clarity and confidence.

Rather than treating religion as a problem to be avoided, the session explores how organisations can develop a more informed and constructive understanding of the beliefs and values that shape people’s lives.

Many organisations describe themselves as values-led, often expressing this through mission statements or organisational commitments. Yet professionals frequently recognise that the real values of an organisation become visible not in such statements, but in everyday decisions in the workplace, such things as who is promoted, how conflict is handled, what risks are taken, and whose voices are heard.

Values are not an add-on to organisational life. They form part of the underlying system that shapes behaviour, culture and decision-making, whether they are acknowledged explicitly or not.

This briefing explores how values can be identified, defined and given meaningful traction within organisations. It examines the relationship between values that are made explicit and those that operate implicitly in practice, sometimes with unintended or harmful consequences.

It will also consider how moral standpoints, religions and wider worldviews can shape organisational life, and some of the challenges organisations face when attempting to engage these dimensions thoughtfully.

Participants will be given the opportunity to reflect on the values operating within their own organisations, and on how greater clarity and coherence might be developed between organisational commitments and lived practice.
