In this conversation, Sonja Stirnimann talks to Melody Moore about the importance of corporate integrity and how it shapes leadership. They explore the clash between personal and corporate integrity, the impact of cognitive dissonance on decision-making, and the need for authenticity and vulnerability in leadership. The discussion also touches on the challenges of toxic environments, accountability for misbehaviour, and the importance of redefining success and values in organisations. The conversation concludes with a call for greater awareness of and commitment to integrity in corporate culture.
Just a few highlights of our conversation with Melody Moore:
Corporate integrity is much more than just compliance.
Cognitive dissonance is uncomfortable, so you have to find a way to get away from it.
Often when people make those significant decisions to leave an organization or any significant decision, it’s their body that’s telling them there’s that sense of discomfort, of unease.
Some of the takeaways of this integrity talk:
• Integrity shapes leadership and organizational culture.
• Corporate integrity goes beyond compliance and legalities.
• Cognitive dissonance can lead to discomfort in decision-making.
• Vulnerability is essential for authentic leadership.
• Toxic environments hinder employee performance and well-being.
• Accountability for misbehaviour is crucial at all levels.
• Redefining success and values is necessary for personal fulfilment.
• Emotional decision-making often outweighs logical reasoning.
• Training alone cannot change a toxic corporate culture.
• Awareness of integrity issues is vital for organizational improvement
