Leading with Ethics and the Golden Rule

The Purpose and Profit Podcast

Welcome back to The Purpose and Profit Podcast! In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Ty Wenglar delves into the critical role ethical leadership plays in building trust, fostering inclusion, and driving sustainable success. At the heart of this discussion is the timeless wisdom of the Golden Rule: “Treat others as you would like to be treated.” This universal principle, which transcends cultures and religions, serves as a powerful framework for making ethical decisions and leading with integrity in today’s complex business landscape.

In this episode, Dr. Wenglar addresses the growing skepticism surrounding terms like "inclusion" and highlights the importance of redefining inclusion in the context of mutual respect and accountability. He emphasizes that true inclusion doesn’t compromise business norms or merit but instead ensures that diverse perspectives are valued within the framework of fairness and ethical behavior.

Using historical and modern examples, Dr. Wenglar illustrates the profound impact of ethical leadership. From the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s unwavering commitment to justice to modern corporations like Salesforce addressing pay equity, the conversation highlights how ethical leadership can inspire trust, strengthen teams, and cultivate organizational cultures rooted in respect.

Listeners will gain actionable insights into fostering ethical leadership in their organizations, including:

• Defining Core Values: Ensuring that values are clear, actionable, and lived out at every level.
• Leading by Example: Understanding how leaders’ behavior sets the tone for their teams.
• Encouraging Transparency: Building structures that promote open communication and accountability.
• Rewarding Integrity: Recognizing individuals who uphold ethical standards and contribute to a positive workplace culture.

This episode also explores how ethical leadership builds trust not only internally but externally with customers, stakeholders, and the broader community. Leaders who embody the Golden Rule create legacies that extend far beyond profits, leaving a meaningful and lasting impact.
