    Build Your Values Muscle at Bettina Palazzo's Corporate Ethics Gym

    Why do we hear so many fancy words about company values while corporate scandals rage? According to ethics expert and corporate consultant, Bettina Palazzo, leaders love to talk about values because the exercise creates a nice fuzzy feeling. Yet lists of corporate values will not move the needle on company decisions nor affect day-to-day behaviors. Why? Because anyone can come up with fancy feel-good words. But you can't merely throw a beautiful values "cherry" on top of a questionable culture. Leaders have to work from the ground up.  Their role is to engage the organization in clarifying a values vision and  inventing the plan for making it real throughout the organization.  In this episode, Bettina lays out the problems and solutions to the corporate ethics dilemma so prevalent in our world today.

And she outlines the first steps companies must take to remedy the problem. Her experience working within corporate Human Resources, as well as her law degree, her experience working for the Fed, and her tireless activism towards social justice give her a unique perspective on where we stand and what we can do to fight racism.

    Want Change? Engage the System: The EILEEN FISHER Story

    In 2012, the skeptical executives of iconic fashion brand EILEEN FISHER spent three days at a Buddhist retreat center to form a new vision for company sustainability. Most had never worked closely together previously. And they weren't prepared to go out into the woods to contemplate! Yet the meeting organizers insisted they leave their electronics behind, give up their tinkering and siloed approach to change, and analyze the entire product-related system from concept to manufacturing to closet and back again. And guess what happened? They not only created a clear vision complete with audacious goals, they crafted a plan for making it real.  Fast forward to year 2021.  They succeeded in reaching their goals and are helping transform the entire  industry.  Amy Hall, former VP and current advisor to  the Social Consciousness group in EILEEN FISHER, and Sara Schley, the Co-founder of Seed Systems and Amy's outside partner in guiding the journey, share stories, lessons learned and the secrets to the company's success in their sustainability work. Their advice is both revolutionary and practical, unusual and intriguing, and it works. Leaders of companies in any industry and of any size can succeed by adopting their systems approach to change.
