2- Ethical Leadership
The Ethical Imperative and the Importance of Values
It is often the practice in organizations that whenever new recruits are
being on-boarded, they are required to attend sessions on ethics and
values.
These sessions cover the need for ethical and transparent behavior by
the employees and usually, someone from the compliance team or the
senior management addresses them to impress upon them the ethical
imperative and the importance of values.
However, when we considers the situation that has manifested itself in
the recent past with several top management and business leaders
being implicated in scandals, we wonder what the new recruits are being
told in these sessions.
When the senior management themselves are implicated in wrongdoing,
it becomes difficult to preach to the middle and entry-level employees
about following ethical standards and practicing values.
