About this listen

 In this third episode of a 3-part podcast series, Tom Fox and Sam Silverstein discuss the critical divide in companies around Ethics and Culture. This series is based on data from a national survey of over 1,000 people that highlights the divide between high- and low-performing companies in ethics. Today, the focus shifts to fostering an ethical culture within organizations. The discussion begins with survey findings showing that, even in good cultures, 39% of respondents feel ethics often take a back seat. The conversation elaborates on what a truly ethical culture entails, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing people over numbers. Leaders are encouraged to set clear examples, admit mistakes, and be transparent. Practical steps to align culture and ethics include establishing and living core values throughout the organization. The guests also highlight the significance of a ‘Speak Up’ culture, where employees feel safe to voice their concerns and share ideas. The session concludes with an introduction to the culture audit, a tool for measuring and enhancing organizational culture and ethics. Key highlights: Building an Ethical Culture The Importance of Values in Leadership Living Your Values: Real-World Examples Aligning Personal and Organizational Values Fostering a Speak-Up Culture The Role of Culture Audits Resources: Sam Silverstein Sam Silverstein on LinkedIn Sam Silverstein The Culture Audit™
