What is ethical leadership? What are the benefits of developing an ethical culture within an organisation? And how can leaders implement such a culture? These are just some of the issues that are discussed in the second RSM Discovery debate.

Power without ethics is worthless - ethics without power is powerless

Ethical leadership is considered to be a nourishment for sustained corporate success. These leaders are full of zeal for open and contentious debate, are active in decision-making processes, and are committed to planning for succession. What’s not to like? But is it possible to be an ethical leader in today’s shareholder-focused economy? RSM’ Steffen Giessner, Rob van Tulder and Marius van Dijke take a look at ethical leadership from HR, CEO and ethics points of view. This second RSM Discovery Debate is moderated by Russell Gilbert, editor of RSM Discovery magazine.
