Be It Resolved: Ethical Decisions Are the Last Line of Corporate Defence

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mardi 24 juin 2025 • Durée 21:55

Ethics in business is no longer a "nice to have — it's non-negotiable. In this episode of Be It Resolved, host Rahul Bhardwaj sits down with José Hernandez, Founder and CEO of Ortus Strategies, to break down why ethical leadership is not just about doing the right thing, but about safeguarding long-term value, brand integrity, and organizational resilience.

From the pressures of geopolitical tensions and trade tariffs to the temptation of short-term gains, leaders are increasingly at risk of cutting corners. José explains why boards must go beyond aspirations and embed ethics into strategy, processes, and culture, because without a clear ethical compass, even individuals with good intentions may still make unethical decisions.

We explore how boards can set the tone from the top, implement meaningful oversight, and build systems that reinforce trust, especially when operating across diverse cultural landscapes. Learn why ethics is not only the last line of defence, but a powerful driver of stakeholder trust and brand value.

Be it resolved: Ethical decisions are the last line of corporate defence—when the pressure is on, which
way will YOU vote?

Be It Resolved: Trust Is a Zero-Sum Game

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

mardi 22 juillet 2025 • Durée 21:57

Trust in business is no longer a soft skill—it’s a strategic imperative. In this episode of Be It Resolved, host Rahul Bhardwaj sits down with Bruce
MacLellan, Founding President of the communications consultancy Proof Strategies, and Kathleen McGinn, co-founder of TrustLab. This discussion explores why trust is not just the foundation of strong relationships but the lifeblood of effective corporate governance, culture,
and performance.
From the boardroom to the front lines, today’s leaders must understand what truly drives trust—and how to build it. Bruce and Kathleen unpack a working definition of trust grounded in vulnerability and introduce the ABI framework—Ability, Benevolence, and Integrity—as a practical lens for leadership.
Together, they examine why trust must be built from the inside out, how it can be measured, and what happens when it breaks down. Learn how trust reduces friction, strengthens collaboration, and enables better decision-making—because when trust is strong, organizations thrive. When it’s not, everything is at risk.
