Company culture is driven from the top-down. While not often designed and constructed deliberately, company culture is truly a game of follow the leader. If leadership lacks integrity, the culture will run fast and loose when it comes to the facts. If leadership distrusts its staff, the culture will lack trust. It’s really that simple. Many times, leaders don’t realize the havoc that they wreak on their organizations through their own behavior.

By Linda Fisher Thornton By Linda Fisher Thornton It's easy to understand that ethics has various "requirements." What isn't as obvious is that it takes effort on all of them to maintain the ethical well-being of people and organizations. Just as we need to eat from a variety of food groups to get balanced nutrition, we need to honor more than one ethical dimension to get balanced ethics.

W HAT’S MORE IMPORTANT, strategy or execution? I believe both are critical. But what if something else is just as important? There is a third ingredient to business success, one that many companies undervalue: servant leadership. In today’s business climate, the cadence between strategy and execution is compressing, making the integration of the two more important than ever.

Senior leaders review the data, envision the future, and shape it into a cohesive entity that fits on a piece of paper. It’s pretty amazing, really.

Executives and managers invest a lot of effort and time building trust in their teams: both establishing trust in their employees and ensuring that their employees trust them in return. But many employees say they do not feel trusted by their managers. And when employees don’t feel trusted, workplace productivity and engagement often suffer. It’s up to managers to signal trust in their employees in consistent and thoughtful ways.

The recent history of Uber reads like a Shakespearean tragedy, and there are plenty of opinions about where the company went wrong and what it needs to do going forward. But unlike many others, I’m not here to praise or bury Uber. Instead, I’m here to reflect on a deeper issue that much of its business is predicated on.

Steven Moore for HBR. What happens after a CEO visits the White House? For the most part, we just don’t know: U.S. presidents, Trump included, have kept their visitor logs private. President Obama, however, broke with long-standing tradition and made his public. While there’s plenty of debate around whether or not transparency around these logs has a broad impact, one thing is for certain: more than half a decade (2009-2015) of the comings and goings of S&P 1500 corporate executi
