Mon, 5 May 2008 Leadership and Ethics in a Global Economy As businesses grow across borders, questions of ethics and culture challenge business leaders. To what extent is ethical leadership based on universal values and to what extent is it based on cultural considerations? How do leaders determine the values that should apply across their global operations, and those they should leave at home? How do business leaders make good decisions that strike the balance between their core values and the core values of the societies where they do business?

Mon, 10 March 2008 Leading as If Your Life Depended on It Most approaches to crisis leadership focus on ordinary people who are forced to cope with extraordinary circumstances. But there are different lessons to be learned about crisis leadership through research with crisis professionals, like climbing guides, SWAT team chiefs, soldiers, and extreme sport coaches. What do people look for in leaders when their business risk or personal risk is so extreme that there may be no second chances? What are the moral obligations of leaders who, along with others, face extreme risk or crisis? Comments[0] |
Tue, 4 March 2008 Leadership and Ethics: Reflections on 45 Years in the Workforce Today’s business environment is characterized by widespread uncertainty about some of our biggest financial institutions and trepidation about the near term economic outlook. How has business arrived at this point? What is the link between leadership and ethics and how can new entrants to the workforce have faith in business leadership? It's often not the macro level ethical issues that recent graduates will face, but the smaller day-to-day challenges to operate and exist in an ethical environment.

Fri, 15 February 2008  Babson College President-elect Len Schlesinger, D.B.A., former Vice Chairman and COO, Limited BrandsOlin College, Babson College and Wellesley College are teaming up this spring to sponsor a public lecture series on leadership and ethics. The speakers will offer perspectives based on their research and experience exercising leadership, often in difficult situations fraught with challenging ethical dilemmas. The lecture series is part of a course on professional ethics and leadership developments that is being taught this spring on Olin’s campus. Olin President Richard K. Miller and Babson President Brian M. Barefoot are among the faculty for the course. The lectures will take place in the Milas Hall Auditorium at Olin College, Olin Way, Needham, Mass., beginning at 6:00 pm. The presentations are free and open to the general public, as well as all members of the Olin, Babson, and Wellesley college communities. Organizational Leadership in Search of the Triple Bottom Line: The ‘Victoria’s Dirty Secret’ Campaign Over a multi-year period Victoria’s Secret (a mailer of over 400 million catalogs annually) was the target of a protest campaign by the ForestEthics campaign. The campaign was designed to address Victoria’s Secret’s use of paper drawn from logging in the Boreal Forests of Western Canada. The campaign included protest advertising, in store disruptions, protests at Victoria’s Secret events, fax clogs at headquarters, etc. Two months ago the Victoria’s Secret organization won an award from the ForestEthics campaign for its leadership in support of their environmental objectives. What drove the change of events? How does an operating manager frame situations like these? How does an operating manager balance profitability, the resource requirements of a business, and environmental issues? Through a chronologically organized set of events we will attempt to understand this issue and its broader implications for management of environmental issues.
