ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Should CEOs Keep Their Opinions to Themselves?
In today’s episode:
Employees and consumers want to know what leaders believe, but when does speaking out become a liability?
Some issues demand a public stand. Others carry real risks for the employees and shareholders a CEO is responsible for protecting. Where should leaders draw the line?
When a company’s business model depends on the very resource its sustainability program aims to protect, is that hypocrisy or responsible stewardship?
CEO Daily Brief is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom. Hosted by Dr. Jessica Kriegel, Chief Strategy Officer at Culture Partners. She is frequently joined by John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura.
Jessica and John debate whether CEOs should publicly share their views on social issues, how leaders can balance personal convictions with their obligations to employees and shareholders, and why some corporate sustainability efforts can feel contradictory even when they serve a practical purpose.
