Apple is in a fix: while its stock price is sky high and customers clamor for its products, its suppliers have apparently been engaging in less than stellar labor and environmental practices when creating those sleek devices. While Apple has taken some steps to rectify this in recent days, the question remains for all leaders: where do you draw the line when values come into conflict with the bottom line?
I explore this tension in my latest post for BecomeALeader.org. It is an issue that executives should consider before they are put to the test. If they talk about values as much as they talk about performance, they might actually find that these situations don’t arise in the first place.
What are your thoughts?
