Activist employees: A price worth paying

When employees go public with objections to the perceived moral shortcomings of their companies, most executives react with a sigh of relief — glad it wasn’t their company. In the past year, employees at organizations ranging from Google and Amazon to Deloitte and McKinsey have protested the handling of sexual harassment allegations and petitioned management to stop working with customers that they consider unethical, immoral, or damaging to society.

Employees feel businesses are lacking moral leadership

"Who are America’s moral leaders?" USA Today asked in a recent headline. At a time when businesses are increasingly thrust to the forefront of complex issues such as racial bias, gender equity and privacy rights, an overwhelming majority of employees feel adrift. They do not believe their organizations are run by moral leaders.

Hope for the Next Generation

Today, as the winners eloquently illustrate in their essays, the need for ethical thinking and action is more urgent than ever. In our hyper-connected, interdependent world, we can now feel the hope, dreams, frustrations, and anger of millions of others instantly. News of injustice and mistreatment spreads in an instant; the moral distance between us is disappearing. But the same technologies that connect us are also being used to undermine truth and trust. Never before have these twin pillars of society been under such widespread and continual assault.

The Gift of Pause

Sometimes the best gifts in life come to us in unusual ways. So it was with my dear friend Mats Lederhausen's recent birthday.

Not just any party, mind you, as this one served to expand the worldview of all who attended - most of all my own.

Thinking Higher, Feeling Deeper: Honoring Elie Wiesel

Today marks one year since the passing of Professor Elie Wiesel. To me, and certainly to countless others, Elie Wiesel was a, if not the moral conscience of our world. Professor Wiesel said that “words can sometimes, in moments of grace, attain the status of deeds.” His morally courageous and truthful words in so many moments of consequence – especially when in the face of hatred or persecution – transformed into deeds that made our world more just and human.
