Harry Kraemer, Jr. - Should We Care About Decency in Leadership Within corporate America?

Being a consultant who does a ton of work in the culture change and organizational design and development space, I think decency counts -- a lot!  Additionally, I think it's one of the characteristics that is all too often forgotten when times get tough. Given where we have been over that past couple of years, the question of decency's importance in business is worth some further examination. My guest for this episode of The Indispensable Conversation is the incomparable Harry Kraemer, Jr., the retired chairman and CEO of Baxter International Inc., a multi-billion-dollar global healthcare company and a professor of management and strategy at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, where he teaches in the MBA and the Executive MBA programs. Having to deal with so many ethical questions and challenges over his tenure as the top leader of tens of thousands of his employees worldwide, Harry is the absolutely "right" person to talk with about the importance of decency in leadership.
