Module 3 – SLP
BUILDING AN ETHICS-BASED WORKPLACE CULTURE
The Chief Ethics Officer
Assignment Overview
In this assignment you will be asked to consider the role of
organizational leaders with respect to ensuring companies work to create an
ethical workplace culture. It is
important for all upper level leaders to ‘walk the talk’ so to speak. In addition, many larger companies have a
Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer who provides leadership and oversight to
the company’s business ethics related endeavors. Recall that Lockheed Martin
has such an executive level position. However, not all companies have such a
position. In this assignment you will be asked to discuss the contributions of
executive leaders and of the Ethics Officer with respect to building an
organization that values workplace ethics.
What do you believe are the most important characteristics
of ethical leadership?
Describe the relationship between the ethical leader and the
follower.
Why is this relationship important for organizations that
are attempting to do the right thing?
Based on your readings (both the articles provided and
Terris’ text), what is the role of the Chief Ethics Officer and how does the
role of this person relate to the success of the ethics related endeavors
within large organizations?
