Enron, the company was a model of a learning organization when it exploded onto the business stage. Over time it went oh so bad. New Federal laws were enacted, lives were ruined, people lost their retirement savings, and corporate executives went to jail. On pages 358 and 359 you will find a case study with 2 questions that I would like for you to answer:
1. How can the theories in Chapter 13 and information about leader influence on culture be used to explain the unethical practices at Enron?
2. What can be done to reduce unethical leadership? Does it simply require laws to prevent this kind of thing from not happening in the future or is there something that is fundamentally missing from our culture writ large?
