Have you ever seen a CEO post online and thought, “Who approved this…and why was it them?”
I think we all have at this rate!
In this episode, I’m joined by the iconic Sarah Reynolds, marketing exec, pay equity champion, and all-around ethical disruptor, to unpack what happens when CEOs throw ethics out the window.
From public tantrums to private chaos, we talk about the ripple effects of bad behavior in the C-suite and what it really means for employee trust, brand integrity, and workplace culture in general!
Some of these CEOs are deff getting coal for Christmas. Some should get an audit.
Either way, we had way too much fun breaking it all down, so if you’ve got a story of CEO drama, you might have to send it in. Part two is practically writing itself.
