Tone from the Top – the importance of values in the c-suite

What is the meaning of values for senior executives and how can values be communicated in a business organization? These are two of the questions addressed in this interview in the CSR Magazin, a leading publication for corporate responsibility practitioners.

Senior executives often live by strong values in their personal lives while the pressures under which they perform on the job can at times create conflict between personal values and managerial decision making. In this interview Jan Thomas Otte, who publishes the online magazine Karriere Einsichten, asked the Humanistic Management Center on the importance of values for senior executives and ways to communicate them.
