Demonstrating Ethical Values and Behaviours is Now Urgent and Essential
A global cultural shift towards addressing economic and social injustice makes it critical for organizations to examine their values and behaviours.
It may be difficult to lead ethically but, in this climate of change, it is the only way to ensure organizational sustainability. When unethical behaviour is exposed, it may result in disruption to both organizations and individual careers however, hiding it causes poor morale and reduced productivity, not to mention the risk of human rights complaints and lawsuits.
