An independent probe by a committee headed by a retired Justice indicted ICICI Bank's ex-CEO Chanda Kochhar over violation of the company code of conduct.

In November 2018, 20,000 Google employees and contractors around the world walked off the job to protest the company’s response to sexual harassment claims. Employees have also complained about sexism, racism, and a general lack of transparency within the company.

Being a ethical leader in today’s world is increasingly a challenge, as the examples above show. How can leaders of organisations – both large and small, for profit and non-profit – demonstrate ethical leadership? What are the internal and external challenges?

Ron Ashkenas, Principal, Ashkenas Consulting LLC and Partner Emeritus at Schaffer Consulting, will answer these, and other questions of ethical leadership of organisations, from his experience of over 40 years in organizational development.
