Learning Objectives

  • Differentiate between tone at the top and tune in the middle and understand how each influences workplace ethics.
  • Identify hidden factors that drive unethical decision-making in organizations.
  • Evaluate best practices for creating a culture of ethical accountability within a business.
  • Apply key insights to recognize and mitigate ethical blind spots in professional decision-making.

Course Overview

Welcome to another Episode of W.T.F. with Saul—where we explore the hidden forces that drive unethical decisions in the workplace. Most unethical behavior in the workplace doesn’t come from bad intentions—it comes from individuals who fail to recognize the ethical implications of their actions.

In this thought-provoking Episode, we sit down with Andy Felo, Associate Professor of Accounting at Susquehanna University, to explore the psychology behind workplace ethics. Drawing from his research, we dive into the critical difference between "tone at the top" and "tune in the middle" and how these leadership dynamics shape the ethical climate within organizations. Andy unpacks how often ethical breaches occur unintentionally, driven by unseen psychological forces, and why small ethical lapses can snowball into much larger violations over time.

Episode Highlights-

  • Understanding Why Ethical People Make Unethical Decisions
  • The Tone at the Top vs. Tune in the Middle
  • Real-world implications of Ethical Failures
  • Building a Strong Ethical Culture

Tune in for valuable takeaways that will empower you to create a more ethical workplace and positively influence your professional decision-making. Join us for this expert discussion on building a culture of integrity in the modern workplace!
