Where do you see failures in corporate governance?
The Volkswagen Emissions Scandal is a good example that is indicative of failures in corporate governance. Corporate governance can be delineated as the overall system of guidelines, regulations, practices, and processes by which an organization is directed and controlled. First, the executive leadership of Volkswagen was ineffective and futile, and the actions of the scandal are evident. In particular, Martin Winterkorn, the CEO of the company, was an arduous superior who loathed and did not accept failure. Former company executives defined his style of management as dictatorial and… Continue Reading...

in times when we experience setbacks. In addition, another leadership quality I have is honesty and being ethical. In general, corporate governance takes into account the system of instructions, practices and procedures towards which an organization is motivated and controlled. This necessitates ethical and honest behaviors in order to ensure that the interests of different stakeholders are taken into consideration.

Investors are increasingly recognizing the fact that ESG (environmental, social, corporate governance) elements can substantially affect companies' security rates and financial performance.

products remained strong for their other lines (AFP, 2018).
An important part of corporate governance is brand management. If there is a problem found, such as a defect in a product, this can be easily fixed by repairing and making reparations for the defective part. However, when it comes to cheating, this points to an underlying character flaw or problem within the organizational culture (Lyons, 2015).

This scenario is more difficult to recover from than a product defect that affects a… Continue Reading...

respected short-seller Jim Chanos pointed out, it was a corporate governance disaster and Musk was to blame. His leadership was taking Tesla into the gutter (Decambre, 2018). Because Musk is such a good example of what not to do as a leader, he has been selected for this leadership analysis paper.
Question 2
As Winchester (2018) points out, one can be a good leader without being ethical. He gives the example of Hitler, who helped bring Germany out of depression; however, in the business world one can look to numerous more relevant examples: Skilling, Lay and Fastow at Enron;… Continue Reading...
