Say less, do more: Actions speak louder than words when promoting ethical conduct
Join us on December 13 for this special webinar with CEIBS Professor Andrew An-Chih Wang and Alpha Governance Partners Founder & Managing Partner Dr. Eelco Fiole on Say less, do more: Actions speak louder than words when promoting ethical conduct.
About the webinar
In today’s business environment, progressive companies want their leaders to act ethically and set a viable example that encourages their followers to do the same. In some parts of the world, however, it is often better to let your actions speak for you, rather than spelling out what ethical conduct should look like.
During this webinar, CEIBS Professor Andrew An-Chih Wang will present how leaders can model ethical conduct effectively in different cultures. Prof. Wang will also be joined by Dr. Eelco Fiole during the panel discussion.
