The session was facilitated by Dr. Uma Gulati and Prof. Astha Shukla with the objective of sensitizing executives and managers to the significance of ethics and values in professional life. It aimed at deepening understanding of ethical leadership, exposing participants to real-world dilemmas, providing experiential learning through group activities, and encouraging self-reflection on integrity in decision-making.

The methodology adopted combined conceptual insights with practical tools, including case-based learning, group simulations, interactive discussions on ethical grey zones, and reflection exercises. This participatory approach ensured active engagement and critical thinking among the participants.

The key outcomes included enhanced ability to differentiate between ethics and values, effective use of structured frameworks for analyzing dilemmas, improved confidence in collaborative conflict resolution, and a strengthened commitment to integrity-driven leadership. Participants were motivated to translate ethical principles into actionable practices within their organizations.

Overall, the session successfully bridged theory and practice, fostering trust, accountability, and organizational credibility while highlighting the importance of industry–academia collaboration.
