Ethical Leadership

In this episode, we question what we should expect from business. Should we expect businesses to focus exclusively on making money, or should we expect them to pursue broader social goals? We consider the approaches organizations can take to make more ethical decisions.

We all want to maintain the belief that we are good and virtuous. How can people believe they are good, but still do bad things? In this episode, Dr. Celia Moore joins us to discuss how moral disengagement and moral licensing allow good people to engage in bad behavior.  

We know we don't want to be an unethical leader, but what does it take to be an ethical leader? In this episode, Dr. Sean Martin joins us to talk about what it means to be an ethical leader and how having an ethical leader influences teams.

What does it mean to be ethical? What frameworks can we use to understand ethical decision-making?

What psychological processes can undermine your ethical decisions? In this episode, we talk about how automaticity and motivated reasoning can undermine ethical decision-making.

Does the context you are in influence your ethical behavior? Is it possible you could be more ethical in one part of your life than another? Could the team you are in make you more unethical? We will answer these questions on this episode of Ethical Leadership.
