Episode 12: Toxic Cultures and Ethical Leadership

We assume leaders running organisations are fully aware of their own personal values, and by being aware, would act when these values are being violated, in the way in which people are being treated around them. If this is the case, why are scandals such as the bullying that occurred with former British Olympic gymnasts, and the way people were treated in clothing manufacturing in Leicester allowed to carry on? These scandals happen under the watch of leadership. It's not good enough to say you didn't know, people know within organisations, and these issues usually come to light after someone raises the courage to call it out through whistleblowing. How can we change our organisations to be ethically focused never allowing these situations to arise in the first place?
