Thursday, July 14, 2011 The Institute for Ethical Leadership (IEL) at Rutgers Business School seeks to create awareness and education about the importance of ethical leadership. Under the direction of co-founders Alex J. Plinio and James Abruzzo, the IEL aspires to establish itself as the place that leaders, across all sectors, look to for guidance, partnership, and support to develop and improve the ethical culture among their executive and board leadership and within their organizations.
In April, IEL hosted “Authentic Leadership in the Age of Social Media” with the pharmaceutical company Merck, where Bill George, former Chairman and CEO of Medtronic and Harvard Business School Professor of Leadership, inspired and entertained his audience with both personal and professional stories about leadership and development. He later sat down for a Q&A session to talk with us about the role of business schools and organizations play on promoting authentic leadership for 2011 and beyond.
