• Resumen

  • The article discusses research conducted by consulting firm KRW International on the relationship between organizations’ performance and the ethics and character of their chief executive officers (CEOs). It notes that ethical leadership in the study was defined in terms of four principles: integrity, responsibility, forgiveness, and compassion. It summarizes the study’s finding that organizations with CEOs who were highly rated by their employees with respect to these criteria achieved far better financial performance than those with CEOs receiving low ratings. Comments are presented from KRW cofounder Fred Kiel, who led the study.
