AI Summary
This essay explores the concept of ethical leadership with a case study of Kimpton Hotels and its CEO, Mike Defrino. It begins by providing a brief biography of Defrino, highlighting his commitment to customer service and ethical business practices. The analysis then focuses on a major ethical crisis encountered by Kimpton Hotels: a violation of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, where the company allegedly misused employee biometric data. The essay discusses the link between Defrino's ethical orientation and the company's response (or lack thereof) to the crisis, noting the absence of public comment or justification from Defrino or other company leaders. The essay concludes by suggesting that this silence reveals a potential inability to effectively uphold ethical standards within the organization.
