A fresh, realistic guide to help companies navigate the new ethical
challenges and risks in a volatile global landscape. Today's
headlines are full of employee unrest over racial injustice,
communities infuriated by corporate environmental impacts, staff
anxiety over surveillance, and discoveries of child labor in supply
chains. We’ve traveled far and fast from the old world of
business ethics, where black-and-white concerns about bribery and
fraud could be addressed with rules and processes. Simply
maximizing shareholder value while not breaking the law is no
longer an option, but we've never been so confused about what it
means to do the right thing. In this eye-opening, indispensable
book, NYU ethics professor Alison Taylor argues that amid
stakeholder demands and transparency pressures, we can no longer
treat ethics as a legal and reputational defense mechanism. Leaders
at Davos and the Business Roundtable have called for a new
corporate responsibility paradigm, but how to implement their ideas
remains an open question as organizations struggle in an atmosphere
of heightened expectations and intense suspicion. Offering vivid
stories and examples, Taylor brings this complex, risky environment
alive to provide a blueprint for how leaders should rethink and
reshape their practices. How can CEOs cut through the noise to set
robust environmental and social priorities? When should they speak
out on contentious social and political issues—and how? What does
it really take to build a healthy organizational culture? How are
we to approach corporate values when society is so divided? Higher
Ground will show leaders how business can navigate this messy
paradigm shift, build trust, and achieve long-term strategic
advantage in a turbulent world.
