The Decisions That Stay With You
New: The Liesel Practice: How to Navigate Ethical Complexity in Working Life Class, a new School of WorkLife Book Club online live class is now available.
It begins with something many people in professional life will recognise.
A decision gets made.
A meeting ends.
Work moves forward.
But something stays with you.
Not because anything was obviously wrong.
Because something wasn’t quite resolved.
That is where Richard’s story begins.
He’s a senior communications director — experienced, calm under pressure, and highly respected for navigating complex organisational situations.
But increasingly, Richard notices something he can’t easily name.
Certain decisions continue staying with him long after meetings end.
Moments where something technically acceptable still feels ethically unresolved.
The Liesel Practice: How to Navigate Ethical Complexity in Working Life draws on Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief and a six-step framework built around the kinds of questions ethical leadership asks of us in working life. Not in moments of obvious wrongdoing. In the situations that are not clearly right or wrong — and where judgement, responsibility, and courage are required regardless.
