Masterclass: Ethical Intelligence for Teams: How Values Shape a Healthy Workplace Culture

In a business environment increasingly focused on performance, efficiency, and results, one essential ingredient is often overlooked: the moral fabric that holds teams together.

Trust, accountability, collaboration, and psychological safety do not emerge by accident. They are built through shared values, ethical behavior, and leadership that goes beyond competence and intelligence.

This masterclass explores the concept of Ethical Intelligence and its role in shaping what can be described as the moral ecology of an organization. Participants will examine how values influence decision-making, team dynamics, and organizational culture, as well as the mechanisms through which collective moral disengagement can erode trust and damage performance.

Led by Andrei Stupu, PhD, internationally recognized intelligence researcher, Fulbright alumnus at Harvard University, and consultant in leadership and learning & development, the session invites participants to rethink leadership through the lens of character, responsibility, and practical wisdom.

DURING THE MASTERCLASS, PARTICIPANTS WILL EXPLORE:

• What Ethical Intelligence is and why it matters in today’s organizations
• How values shape workplace culture and team behavior
• The impact of collective moral disengagement on trust and performance
• The foundations of character-based leadership
• Why practical wisdom may become a more valuable leadership capability than intelligence alone
• How leaders can create environments that foster ethical awareness, accountability, and long-term trust
