Corporate Ethics
The video reviewed titled ‘Is "Corporate Ethics" an Oxymoron’ features Sharon Allen, Chairman of Deloitte, Todd Bluedorn, CEO of the Lennox International and Jared Richardson, a senior counsel with the Energy Future Holdings. Financial hardships in institutions present challenges that may bring changes in the corporate ethics and the end crippling operations. As Todd, in the video discussion expresses, ethics is more over the necessary compliance to include committal and selfless leadership, ability not being selfish and courage coupled with the capacity to speak factually about things as they are (Bluedorn, 2015).
The other speaker, Sharon Allen feels that it is important to instill overall corporate ethics to everyone that engages with a company. Allen believes that businesses are focused on their image, the people they serve, employees and stakeholders (Bluedorn, 2015). She stresses that ethics encompasses both the personal and business aspects, and there are no exclusions. Corporate ethics develops from the people within an organization, and as practiced reflects on the organization, as expressed by the third speaker Jared Robinson. Corporate values can equally cost an institution or benefit it depending on the status. The speakers engaged in a conversation about an organization and brought about the comparison of events. Structures and compliance are important to companies and the workers be made to enter into commitments.
The major ethical implications presented in the video are the manner in which higher level of sobriety shows the session by the speakers. The arguments by the presenters in the video has factual basis and comparisons are made to bring about understanding as the case of Jeff and Enron, a corporate with ethical debacles (Bluedorn, 2015). The general presentation and illustration indicate the video effectiveness is making it appropriate for my peers to expand knowledge in corporate ethics.
