Is good ethics compatible with good business? And can we resolve that dilemma? - Alison Taylor and Brian Harward

jean interviews Alison Taylor and Brian Harward of the NYU Stern School of Business on the viability of operating ethically in business. Ethical behavior in corporations goes beyond compliance with laws to include anticorruption, sustainability, human rights, culture and behavior, and employee and stakeholder engagement. Can businesses thrive while operating ethically? Will shareholders accept reduced profits to increase ethical decisions in support of equitable practices? If incentives are offered to operate ethically, how can we prevent them from being treated as bribes (which induces the pretense of ethical behavior) rather than rewards (in recognition of actual ethical behavior)? If they become viewed as bribes, are we encouraging window dressing rather than true values commitment to environmental and social responsibility? And which way are we trending now – toward greater or less ethical behavior by corporations? #Business #leadingconsciously #ethics  --------------------------------------------------------- Conversations with forward-thinking leaders about patterns that keep us stuck and how the leaders are breaking the mold.
