Speaker Series

  • In the aftermath of the 2002 Tyco International scandal, involving the excesses by its former chairman and CEO and other senior managers, Tyco International’s new CEO, Ed Breen, assembled a new senior management team to lead the company’s efforts to build an ethical organizational culture.  The Institute for Ethical Leadership welcomed three key executives to its speaker series titled The Tyco Story: Past Present & Future – How to Recover from Unethical Management Behavior.  During the November 14, 2011 event, the Tyco executives discussed their experiences working closely with senior management to build and promote a culture of ethics and integrity across a highly-diversified global company.  Tyco Executives took participants through approaches to address and promote a culture of ethics and integrity in a complex and ever changing world.  They shared the Tyco Story, the difficult past, the much improved present and plans for the future.  
  • Foreign Corrupt Practices Act & Risk Assessment, held on December 2, 2010, gave a historical perspective on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and how effective leaders can create an organizational culture equipped to handle the regulatory and legal environment that accompanies the new global marketplace.
