Consider the role of organizational leaders
with respect to ensuring companies work to create an ethical workplace culture. It
is important for all upper level leaders to ‘walk the talk’ so to speak. In addition,
many larger companies have a Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer who provides
leadership and oversight to the company’s business ethics related endeavors.
Recall that Lockheed Martin has such an executive level position. However, not
all companies have such a position. In this assignment you will be asked to
discuss the contributions of executive leaders and of the Ethics Officer with
respect to building an organization that values workplace ethics.
- What do you believe are the most important characteristics of ethical
leadership? - Describe the relationship between the ethical leader and the follower.
- Why is this relationship important for organizations that are attempting to do
the right thing? - Based on your readings (both the articles provided and Terris' text), what is the
role of the Chief Ethics Officer and how does the role of this person relate to
the success of the ethics related endeavors within large organizations?
