Top Five Corporate Scandals of 2018: Episode I-CBS and Les Moonves

In this five-part podcast series, I visit with Amii Barnard-Bahn to consider five of the top corporate scandals from 2018. The five we discuss are CBS, 1MDB/Goldman Sachs, Facebook, Tesla and Nissan. We explore the failures at the Board of Directors and at senior management and these companies need to do to not only solve the legal imbroglios they now find themselves in but to also regain the trust of their various stakeholder. In this first episode we consider the ongoing scandal at CBS around its former CEO Les Moonves and the claims of not only sexual harassment but also sexual assault.  Some of the highlights include: ·     Why is this matter on our Top 5 list?·     Was there actual knowledge of the complaints by individual members of the Board or the entire Board of Directors?·     Should Viacom blow up the CBS Board or start over?·     What is the role of a CCO?·     Why should the CCO be separate and apart from the legal function? Amii Bernard-Bahn is an expert on organizational culture, ethics, and leadership and frequently speaks and writes about these passions.
