The Penn State Leadership Meltdown: 8 Ways It Could Happen to You

An assistant coach is convicted of child abuse at Penn State. The University commissions an independent review of how the situation evolved over time and how the university handled it. The review is damning. People at the highest levels of power at Penn State covered it up, says the report. They failed to do the right thing, time and again. In this podcast, the Poynter Institute's leadership and management expert Jill Geisler looks at how people who believe they are ethical and moral do the wrong thing -- and how you and your organization could too easily do the same. She offers 8 signs of trouble. This podcast is a companion to her column on Poynter.org. Jill's new book"Work Happy: What Great Bosses Know" is now in bookstores in print and e-reader formats.
