Ethical Challenges in Business: A Leadership Perspective
March 28, 2007
Bill George professor, management practice, Harvard Business School

Bill George explores ethical challenges in business from a leadership perspective, offering insights on what can cause leaders to lose their moral bearings. He believes, as do the 125 leaders interviewed for his new book, True North: Discover Your Authentic Leadership, that leaders succumb to ethical failures and deviations not because of a lack of knowledge or understanding of ethical principles and premises but because they have neglected to develop and ground themselves in five key areas, which serve to locate one's ethical "true north."
