For my ninth DEJ post, I chose to look at the Article regarding Uber’s CEO candidate stepping down. The article discusses the turmoil Uber is exeperiencing from the stepping down of Immlet the fromer CEO of GE. This has caused Uber some panic as a company as the company has recived backlash for their poor company culture. This company culture has stemmed from current CEO Kalanick’s leadership style. This made me consider what we have discussed in class regarding the ethics and values in the leadership at Uber. It is clear from the article that there is a lack of value based leadership and ethical consideration in the leadership at Uber. The employees have low morale and the company culture could signifigantly improve with work done to further implment ethical leaderhip. This relates to our ethical frameworks. One ethical framework that relates to company culture is the common good framework. If this framework had used, the common good of people would be considered and how to improve employee moral and company culture would be stronger and better. Leaders must consider ethics in their leadership and how they make decisions as it can quickly affect the company as a whole imilar to the Uber example. This article also details Uber’s process in searching for the next CEO candidate and the considerations that were taken to find the right pick. This is another are where ethical frameworks are neccessary as candidiate selection also much be led and executed ethically. Values such as integrity, accountbility tranparency, and responsibility should all be considerd and the pivotal foundation for decison making and selection.
