Innovating Leadership: Co-Creating Our Future

Guest: David Rodin, Chair and Founder of Principia & Former Co-Director of the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law, and Armed Conflict

Even the mightiest corporate juggernaut can crumble under an ethics scandal. But even minor ethics issues can taint your business – not just with PR, but in reduced employee morale, engagement, and more.

 

But ethics can be taught, forged, and grown throughout an organization. Guest David Rodin researches and teaches ethics for businesses and militaries, and he shares his wisdom and practical tips with host Maureen Metcalf.

Here's what David and Maureen cover:

  1. The difference between ethics and customs (or corporate culture);
  • His three basic tests to determine ethical behavior; and
  • The lesson of the Strategic Corporal we all need to learn!
  •
