Ethical Leadership in Organizational Crisis: BHP Billiton Case Study

This presentation examines the role of ethical leadership in managing organizational crises, using the BHP Billiton bribery case as an example. It discusses the causes and consequences of bribery, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of ethical leadership in addressing such crises, and provides three recommendations for overcoming the identified disadvantages. The presentation concludes that while ethical leadership can be effective in mitigating bribery, its success depends on consistent application, regular performance reviews, and comprehensive employee training on ethical standards. The analysis includes a discussion of the potential benefits of ethical leadership, such as building customer loyalty and fostering a healthier workplace, as well as its limitations, such as potential ineffectiveness if leaders do not adhere to ethical frameworks or fail to monitor employee activities effectively.
