McGregor Leadership
Values in Leadership.
Anchoring Actions in Personal Principles
The goal of this workshop is to discover the "non-negotiable" values at the core of your character. Some people are leaders by the very moral force of their lives. Some are born into positions of power or arrive into power by perseverance in the private sector. Others are elected or acquire influence through sports, the arts or entertainment. Whatever your path to leadership, affirming those core values that define your leadership - is the goal of this dynamic interactive session.
Using a unique approach of a frontier science - transplanting the organs of genetically modified cloned animals into humans - this interactive workshop engages people from all backgrounds and all ages, in lively debates about the values that drive their decisions. Pictured here - Betsy is seen with 'Dolly the Sheep' - the world's first cloned animal. Are there "non-negotiable" positions your group has on limits to growth? What are the values you exemplify in your leadership? Discover why!
From baboon hearts to pig parts, Dolly the first cloned sheep to "designer babies" - explore some of the tough choices of living and dying in the 21st Century and discover where you stand. Value-driven stewardship and evidence-based decision-making can distinguish you and your organization. In this workshop, discover the core values you and your group automatically revert to, reflect on their merit, then anchor your character in your non-negotiable core values.

Background & Testimonials
Distinguished with Canada’s Head of Public Service Award for excellence in public policy and fostering youth leadership, Betsy and her youth team designed the first federal website on ethics and biotechnology launched by Industry Canada. She also visited scholars in the US, Europe and - in Scotland - met “Dolly the Sheep”.
As a part of Canada’s expert delegation, Betsy participated in a session in Paris with UNESCO during the drafting of the “International Declaration of the Human Genome and Human Rights” - 50 years after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed at the United Nations.
Subsequently, based out of Harvard Medical School, she helped coordinate a "Global working Group on “Ethics, Science and Governance”. The international experts took the example of a frontier technology - the transplantation of organs across species lines - and examined the core values at stake.
To seek best practice models of leadership both at the national and world level, Betsy led the design of a “Legal Roundtable” while in Boston. Emerging from the Harvard-based think tank, a set of teaching modules was produced which form the foundation of her workshops and motivational speeches.

"As an aerospace business person, I wondered what a workshop on "Ethics and Leadership" - based on a case study in the health sector - would have to say to me or those in my industry. But as Betsy guided the process, with skill and experience, I quickly became engaged in the interactive workshop and its implications. The video clips and simulated negotiation animated the room as each participant assumed different stakeholder roles and debated the ethics of the decisions being made. By the end of the workshop, we had all been provoked to examine our core values and underlying assumptions in decision-making. I would highly recommend Betsy's workshop for all the many people in business and industry for whom ethics and responsible practice are important, as they are in our aerospace industry."

"What the world needs now is 'value-centred' leaders, leaders who stand on principles and core values. We need women and men who are willing to avoid easy answers in favour of unequivocal commitment to service and serving the common good. We need women and men who are anchored in deeply rooted moral values - leaders like Betsy McGregor. I met Betsy at Harvard University. Since then I have had the honour to work with her on numerous projects including "Science, Ethics & Governance." I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that Betsy is a true value-centred leader who has a lot to offer Canada and the world."
