I recently shared a meal with Dov Seidman, the CEO of LRN, which advises companies on how to build ethical cultures. He reminded me that the philosopher David Hume said that “the moral imagination diminishes with distance.”
College of Business shares unique partnership with Dov Seidman - its Thought Leader of the Year - putting HOW at the center of innovative new leadership curriculum
Everyone knows that a workplace in which people feel appreciated and valued, with more autonomy, is a more pleasant place to work than one in which they don’t. What has been less certain is that workplaces with high trust and a strong culture actually do better as businesses.
One of the enduring ironies of the World Economic Forum in Davos is that the world’s élites congregate in this Alpine village each year to contemplate a backlash against the world’s élites.
Several years ago, Dov Seidman published a business book called How. His primary argument was that process — the “how” — matters as much, if not more, than the substance — the “what.” Seidman focused his argument on how companies deliver products and services, but the Bowe Bergdahl case shows that political leaders who ignore the “how” in decision-making do so at their peril.
Dov Seidman, an ethics and compliance expert, urges banks and other companies to do the "next right thing," not the "next thing right," citing the example of Chipotle, which earlier this year stopped serving pork at one-third of its restaurants when it found a supplier fell short of its animal welfare standards.

When Andrew Ross Sorkin and I came together to start “Apology Watch,” our goal was to elevate the conversation about authentic apologies. In that vein, we are introducing an “Apology Metric” survey to give readers an opportunity to share their insight.
With high-profile apologies from the likes of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, we're in apology overload. Dov Seidman is calling for an apology cease-fire. Seidman is CEO of a company that helps corporations develop values-based cultures and strengthen their ethics and compliance effort. He tells Audie Cornish why he takes issue with recent apologies and what he believes makes a good one.
Beginning on Tuesday, Mr. Seidman and I are starting “Apology Watch” on the DealBook website (nytimes.com/dealbook) and on Twitter using the hashtag #ApologyWatch. We hope readers will participate by helping us track new apologies and, more important, follow up on what companies, institutions and individuals have done post-apology.
Jo Confino interviews Dov Seidman about where capitalism lost its way and why values must be at the heart of corporate sustainability transformation
In our interconnected world, a management style that emphasizes honesty and trust should replace traditional carrot-and-stick-style rewards and punishments.
Seidman lays out his personal story, and his organizational philosophy, in his new book "How: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything," in which he addresses the power of values, creativity and the willingness to think differently.
The influential business author and CEO explains why the practice of enlightened self-governance gives companies an edge.
Meet the innovators and problem-solvers that are inspiring change in America. Moral philosopher and businessman Dov Seidman helps companies thrive by pursuing both profits and principles.

Bosses think their firms are caring. Their minions disagree
Virtue is supposed to be its own reward, but according to an emerging line of thought, it's profitable too. The Pfizer (PFE, Fortune 500) case is the kind of object lesson that permeates the gospel of Dov Seidman, a Los Angeles-based management guru who has become the hottest adviser on corporate virtue to Fortune 500 companies.
How? That was the question posed to UNMC leadership at a workshop held recently at the Scott Conference Center.
