Ethical leadership: the example comes from the top

Ethical leadership: the example comes from the top — what studies show, and what they don't.

The research

Michael Brown, Linda Treviño and David Harrison (2005, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes) link ethical leadership to trust, satisfaction and willingness to report problems.

The limit

Validation data come from few organisations. (our executive and employee training programmes)

Practical check in Zurich
