When Doing Good Ends Badly for CEOs (https://www.wsj.com/articles/when-doing-goodends-badly-for-ceos-1508245277)
1. Discuss the reasons why emphasizing corporate social responsibility could end badly for a
CEO. Feel free to explore the position of stakeholders, employees, or customers. Could
there be some confusion here as to whether the individual CEO or the corporation is the
responsible party?
2. Re-read the last sentence in this article, and imagine yourself in a position to provide
protection for a CEO. What might you do, what are your motivations, and how do you think it
can be accomplished within corporate policy?
