Setting the Tone: ethical business leadership


New IBE Publication available from 17th March 2005

Setting the Tone: ethical business leadership by Philippa Foster Back

Business ethics will never be taken seriously unless the ethical tone is set from the top. Leadership is essential to business ethics, as ethical qualities are essential to good leadership.

Setting the Tone:
• demonstrates that business leaders should consider ethical competence as a core part of their business acumen
• provides guidance to those wishing to build a culture of trust and accountability and strengthen the ethical aspirations of their organisation
• includes interviews with business leaders offering practical insights into ethical leadership issues

The report was launched on 17th March at IBE's offices. Baroness Howe of Idlicote, who among other posts, is Vice President of the IBE, hosted the event. Robert C Olsen, Chairman of ExxonMobil International, sponsors of the publication, introduced the publication and discussed the importance of the topic. Philippa Foster Back then described the main features of the publication and there was an opportunity to ask questions and participate in an open discussion on the subject of ethical business leadership.
