Facts stop and think

-Emotion can derail objectivity -Trust "gut" to alert you to issue, but critically examine facts and issues -Appreciate the difficulty and potential bias in fact gathering, in data - facts can be fluid -Be careful to exercise critical thinking and ask Q's to assure the accuracy of data -Often not the answer to a given Q that's going to provide the ethical response , but the failure to ask needed questions to identify the ethical answer

storming: stage 2

Decisions don't come easily within group. • Team members vie for position as they attempt to establish themselves in relation to other team members and possibly the leader, who might receive challenges from team members. • The clarity of purpose for the team increases, but uncertainties persist. Cliques and factions form and there may be power struggles. • The team needs to be focused on its goals to avoid becoming distracted by relationships and emotional issues. The team may even have to compromise to enable progress.

Reputation Lens -

Entitled: People who favor this lens believe that they are entitled to certain perks - often at the expense of others. Whether padding an expense report or taking advantage of a corporate jet or car, organizational executives tend to forget that they are employees, just like everyone else.

Ethics/Values increasingly viewed as significant in business: Some want to avoid the "60 Minutes" syndrome - what's that?

revising

Evaluating your work and measuring it against your goals Getting feedback from someone else Editing the draft to see that it satisfies the requirements of standard English Proofreading the final copy to see that it's free from typographical errors

1. Easier to argue our position if we genuinely believe our own argument - Unaware of the influence of our own self-interest 2. Truly believe we are right when we are wrong 3. Convince ourselves that we are being fair or even altruistic 4. Mischaracterize the opposing view as self-interested or irrational

Evolutionary notions of self-interest:

Standards -Explore Duties, Rights, Best Practice, & Commitments to Stakeholders -Creative, yet ethical, alternatives

Lenses may suggest ethical alternatives Law and Code of Ethics, Mission CODEX principles May be more than one ethical answer

Rights/Responsibility Lens -

Excused: People who favor this lens will find ways that they are excused from following the rules. They know that the rule, the duty, is there but some very good reason exists that gives them permission to not follow the rules. Sometimes the excuse involves shifting responsibility: if you don't follow the rules, I don't have to. These rules are violated on a one time basis.

Relationship Lens -

Exempt: People who favor this lens will find that the rules don't apply to them - only others. People in leadership fall into the trap of limiting internet access, demanding drug testing, or not providing health care - for everyone else except them. Those who exempt themselves don't think of themselves being excused from the rule - the rule never applied to them at all.

Results Lens -

Expedience: People who favor this will have a tendency to cut corners to make people happy. As people focus on short-term results rather than long-term goals, they will do what is needed to get ahead and say that they had no choice.

Members of the team act independently.

Dodge vs. Ford (1919): A corporation's purpose is to create financial gain for its shareholders. Ben & Jerry's on exam? C-corp maximize shareholder?

History of C-Corps with Social Concerns "A business corporation is organized and carried on primarily for the profit of the stockholders. The powers of the directors are to be employed for that end. The discretion of directors is to be exercised in the choice of means to attain that end, and does not extend to a change in the end itself, to the reduction of profits, or to the non-distribution of profits among stockholders in order to devote them to other purposes."

If F had responded to Paine's 4 Q's, which do you think would have the highest ethical priority for him? Duties? Rights of others? Best practice? Actor's own deeply held Commitments ("core values")?

What would you want to know before deciding? Would you want to work through alternatives? How do you remain impartial and protect vs. biases? Would you feel differently about what steps should be taken if you are the one directly impacted by the outcome of someone else's ethics decision?

Mentor - "pattern of" developing other people in the co. 4. Communicate - inspire others; in an "easy, informal" manner 5.

Leadership development is a critical role for business schools Leadership is not only about: Personal style Learned, developed competencies, but also: Values, 'character,' integrity, and ethical reasoning Ethics issues pervade leadership & business decisions Leaders must be self-aware and know who they are What are their core values; how they align with what they do

Our Starting Assumptions

adapt

Our core principles and values: Often begin with our role models, our family, our culture, our roots, the society in which we live and work, our Touchstones Directly affect our leadership and entrepreneurship But as Burke suggests, we continue to develop, __ our core values as we move through life

business ethics

Our definition: (Profs' Hartman and DesJardinis, for ex.) Application of values within a business context Process of responsible decision making

1. Facts 2. Stakeholders assessment Ethical Issues and their consequences 3. Identifying Standards Duties, Rights, Best Practice, Commitments 4. Objectivity Transparency, Fairness

Paine "frames" ethics challenges into a decision- making process consisting of four steps:

1. Facts and Ethical Issues 2. Stakeholders ID and assessment 3. Identifying and applying Standards Duties, Rights, Best Practice, Commitments Mission and Vision, Law and Ethics Codes, our Lenses Creative Ethical Solutions; Core Values; Assistance CSR, CSV, and Philanthropy 4. Impartiality / Objectivity Awareness to Self-Interest and Rationalizations Stopping to Critically Think and Anticipating Response Maintaining Transparency, Fairness

Law, Values, and Ethics (center of all of it)

Principled Leadership/Integrity is the combination of:

Best Practices

Principles or standards of excellence (ethics codes, voluntary standards) Ideals, values, aspirations Can you think of any enterprise __? Anyone interned/worked in Health Care?

1. Self-knowledge, self-image, and alignment 2. purpose 3. values 4. normality 5. reasons and rationalizations 6. voice 7. choice

Prof Gentile's "To-Do" List (7 Pillars): 1. Develop your own 'story'; 'align' it with who you are 2. Define (own/share) your __ 3. Recognize and appeal to "shared" __ of others Ex.'s of Duty, fairness, stakeholder consequences, reputational risk 4. Expect conflicts and don't overreact 5. Anticipate and practice your response 6. Learn and practice __ing your own values 7. Choose to act and enable others to do so Know what has and not worked in the past; no choice is a decision Courage may be required, and outcomes are not guaranteed

1. make people happy 2. better life for less $ 3. cause no harm, use business for environmental good 4. whole foods. whole people. whole planet 5. do no harm

Prof Rodek's Mission examples...why do we exist? 1. Disney: ooperate theme parks.....__ 2. Wal-Mart: sell merchandise.....__ 3. Patagonia: sell wilderness goods...__ 4. Whole Foods: sell groceries.....__ 5. I'd add as an example: Google search engine/everything eventually?....__

Passion Performance Principle

Prof Rucci contends that Exceptional business leaders have in common: Who they are: What does Prof Rucci describe as the 3 P's of who business leaders are in his article?

1. Fiduciary 2. Property 3. Reliability 4. Transparency 5. Dignity 6. Fairness 7. Citizenship 8. Responsiveness

Prof. Paine's CODEX: Paine also supports her discussion of standards by the compilation of 8 principles found through leading ethical codes: 1. Act in company's best interest 2. Respect property & others property rights 3. Keep your commitments 4. Conduct business openly and truthfully 5. Respect dignity of all people 6. Treat everyone fairly 7. Act as responsible community members 8. Be responsive to legitimate claims/concerns

1. imagination and wholesomeness 2. product excellence 3. service to the customer and never being satisfied -right -at all

Prof. Rodek's Ex.'s of Corporate Core values... Disney P&G Nordstrom There is no universally __ set of core values. The key is not what core values an organization has, but that it has core values __.

Ties between Ethics/Integrity and Leadership Why would anyone choose to follow you?

Prof. Rucci (author of your article) and I would ask you to consider the answer to this question:

Raise ethical awareness Make better decisions Change unethical behavior Notice the positive impact

Purpose of Ethical Appreciation

writing

Putting words on paper or on a screen. Writing can be lists, fragmentary notes or a formal draft.

objectivity and transparency (Gentile's Assumptions; protecting vs. biases)

Rationalizations can create hurdles to objectivity Conflicts of Interest can threaten our impartiality "Inappropriate" self-interest Some suggested solutions/strategies Voicing our Core Values Transparency

Are any options likely to be especially attractive or unattractive, particularly given the short-term interests of the decision makers? Are these interests likely to conflict with the interests of the main stakeholders? Are any conflicting interests likely to be strong enough to significantly distort the decision?

Recognizing "Inappropriate" Self-Interest: 3 questions

inability to change

Rely on traditional behaviors when new ones are required

Vision 1. Core Ideology a. Core Mission I. Enduring II. Inspirational b. Core Values:

Remember Prof Rodek's - Steps to Build a Core Ideology and Vision: Employees relate to and take pride in a __ 1. __: the glue that holds an organization together a. __ (purpose): Why do we exist? I. __ (strategies may change, mission should not) II. __ b. __: What do we stand for? How do we conduct ourselves?

Right

Requirement in others to behave in a certain fashion toward you - also often in law or codes Converse of duty What might be considered a Right for some stakeholders in the context of GM's ignition switch recall on their cars?

When you get feedback that you understand and agree with, make the change If you get feedback you don't understand, ask for clarification Paraphrase. Ask for more information. Test your inference.

Revising After Feedback

Does the action attempt to deceive anyone or allow anyone to be deceived? Does the action gain or allow the gain of privilege or advantage to which I or someone else would not otherwise be entitled? Would I be dissatisfied by the outcome if I were on the receiving end of the action?

Secular Example West Point - Three Rules of Thumb

Commitments

Self-chosen or subjective moral convictions (principles, core values, standards of integrity) "You can make money without doing evil" -- one of Google's "What We Believe" statements Another one...

Identify the problem

Set a regular time to write. Develop a ritual for writing. Try freewriting. Write down the thoughts and fears you have as you write. __ that keeps you from writing. Set modest goals and reward yourself for reaching them.

Is the action consistent with the actor's basic duties? Does it respect the rights and other legitimate claims of the affected parties? Does it reflect best practice? Is it compatible with the actor's own deeply held commitments ("core values")?

What four Q's does the author propose one consider in facing an ethical challenge?

1.A social enterprise directly addresses an intractable social need. Either through its products and services or through the number of disadvantaged people it employs. 2.A social enterprise is a profitable commercial activity. Whether a significant earned income stream within a nonprofit's mixed revenue portfolio, or a for profit enterprise. Social enterprises deploy innovative business skills, pursue unique sources of capital and leverage a variety of professional talents to alleviate some of society's most pressing poverty-related issues.

I want to do this (Act ethically) Remember the studies - most people want to be ethical I have done this before I can do this more often, and better It is easier in some contexts than others I am more likely to do this if I have thought about how I may respond Mastering and delivering responses to rationalizations can empower others who share my views to act But I cannot assume I know who those folks are

Some Giving V to V's "Starting Assumptions":

Slippery slope Victim mentality Everybody does it Cultural context - organizational and demographic "practice" or "the way things are done" Don't challenge 'authority', obedience mentality "Moral muteness" - Threats we see for not speaking up "Moral disengagement" (not at issue for F) Conflicting Interests - self-interest "Inappropriate self-interest" - evolutionary influence

Some Rationalizations and Hurdles:

Slippery slope Victim mentality Everybody does it Cultural context - organizational and demographic "practice" or "the way things are done" Don't challenge 'authority', obedience mentality Conflicting Interests - self-interest "Inappropriate self-interest" - evolutionary influence "Moral disengagement" "Moral muteness" - Threats we see if we speak up

Some Rationalizations and Hurdles:

mix of rationality & autonomy (top left): rights/responsibilities lens mix of rationality & equality (top right): relationship lens mix of sensibility & equality (bottom right): reputation lens mix of sensibility & autonomy (bottom left): results lens

Some blind spots & risks: 1. Believe that the motivejustifies method Being autocratic (bossy) 2. Overconfident in process Being authoritarian 3. Have unrealistic role expectation Self-righteous 4. Satisfied with too little good Reducing decisions to cost-benefit analysis

Trust your "gut," particularly in immediate circumstances But "Stop and Think" in difficult circumstances, and use your brain to explore ethical options (lenses, 4 Q's) What don't you want your Mom (or loved one, or future employer) to read on Facebook about you? Can you explain your actions to someone whom you trust to tell you when you are wrong? Seek the experience or wisdom of others with a different or more objective view; a mentor or trusted adviser Will you be able to sleep at night, or look yourself in the mirror taking the action? Don't forget the "2 Rules" What do you want your leadership integrity to be?

Some simplistic ethical tests:

evaluating

Spend another third __ what you've said, revising the draft(s) to meet your purposes and the needs of the audience and the organization, editing a late draft to remove any errors in grammar and mechanics, and proofreading the final typed copy.

Commitment 1. a vision and involve others 2. values and hold people accountable 3. Treat people with dignity and build their confidence 4. results

Still according to Rucci, the best business leaders...create __ 1. Create __ 2. Reinforce __ 3. Treat people with __ 4. Achieve __ against a broader definition of value creation

core excellence decision-making who we are

Summary - Where we are and where we're going Ethics/Integrity exist at the __ of excellence Key fundamentals of leadership and business __ Can be routinely challenged in enterprise __ But can also reduce risk, improve enterprises, positioning and communities, and aspirationally, __

Expressing two alternative ethical stories raise the Q: Why do we not always voice our values as we are deciding ethical challenges? Strong, very personal experiences in voicing values Can be very difficult or discomforting to do Results or serious consequences might be unexpected

The final layer is noticing that different sets of folks have the responsibility to be the guardians of the lenses. Their job is to assure that the values of the lenses as well as the results of their job descriptions are accomplished. Many ethical conflicts arise because the guardians vigorously advocate for their position without considering the positions of __.

There is huge gap in the capital market for social purpose enterprise. •Finance needs have outgrown grants •Conventional investors are largely disinterested •Business plans or strategic plans are not always easy to convey due to investor unfamiliarity with the concept

The following are key financing challenges that face social entrepreneurs:

performing: stage 4

The team is more aware of performance, they know clearly why it is doing what it is doing. • The team has a shared vision and is able to stand on its own feet with no interference. There is minimal participation from the leader. • There is a focus on over-achieving goals, and the team makes most of the decisions against criteria agreed with the leader. • The team has a high degree of autonomy. Disagreements occur but now they are resolved within the team positively with changes to processes and structure made by the team.

performing: stage 4 continued

The team works towards achieving the goal, and attends to relationships, style and process issues along the way. • The team requires delegated tasks and projects from the leader. • The team does not need to be instructed or assisted. • Team members might ask for assistance from the leader with personal and interpersonal development.

1. by reconceiving products & markets 2. by redefining productivity in the value chain 3. by enabling local cluster development

There are 3 key ways that co. can create shared value opportunities: every firm should look at decisions and opportunities through the lens of shared value. this will lead to new approaches that generate greater innovation and growth for co. and also greater benefits for society

Groucho Marx

Those are my principles, and if you don't like them...I have others.

I am fair.

Those whose preferred lens is the Relationship Lens define being ethical by making sure that people are treated the same and have equal opportunities. Thus, being fair is important.

I make virtuous choices.

Those whose preferred lens is the Reputation Lens define being ethical as making hard choices with courage and wisdom. Thus, making choices that demonstrate the key virtues of their role is important.

I make choices that are good for everyone.

Those whose preferred lens is the Results Lens define being ethical by making people happy and finding "win-win" solutions that respect everyone. Thus, making choices that are good for everyone is important.

I am responsible

Those whose preferred lens is the Rights Lens define being ethical by doing their duty and following the rules. Thus, being responsible is important.

human resources/quality assurance: The HR team assures that everyone in the company is treated fairly and the rules are applied to everyone equally. These two groups also care about systems, which embody the values of this lens. Results Lens - sales/R&D: These two groups may seem like odd suite-mates, but each of them is responsible for forwarding the goals of the organization. Without good products, the company cannot flourish. Unless someone sells the good products, the company cannot thrive. .
