Ethical business cultures go far beyond improving the bottom line: they help bring people closer together and strengthen society itself. And in a time of ongoing culture war, ethical business culture might just be the only thing that can create a better society for everyone…and even save America from tearing itself apart. To discuss this is Tim Fort, Professor of Business Law & Ethics at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. Tim’s primary research interest concerns how ethical business conduct can foster sustainable peace, and for more than 20 years, he has examined how business institutions can help to create a more harmonious society. He is a prolific author, including the award-winning book, The Diplomat in the Corner Office.

On November 13, the Wall Street Journal published a bombshell report by Rebecca Ballhaus detailing a pervasive toxic culture at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, the federal agency that oversees the stability of the U.S. banking system. The report involved interviews with more than 100 FDIC employees and detailed a gruesome record of misbehavior, including misogyny, sexual harassment, alcohol abuse, managerial neglect, speak-up retaliation, and more. Joining us to offer her expert insight on what lessons ethics and compliance professionals can learn from the situation at the FDIC is Ethisphere’s Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Chair, Erica Salmon Byrne.
