Why "ethical" leaders still create unethical cultures
Why do some rule-abiding leaders still preside over unethical cultures?
In this video, Niro Sivanathan, Professor of Organisational Behaviour at London Business School, explores how different leadership styles shape the ethical behaviour of teams.
Research published in Organization Science shows that even when leaders have a clean ethical record, dominance-oriented leadership can signal lower moral character to employees, increasing the likelihood of norm-violating behaviour within organisations.
The findings highlight how the way leaders exert influence can quietly shape the ethical foundation of a workplace.
