Hear from four battle hardened very senior trusted strategic communications advisors discuss and debate the emerging role of CEOs as the new global community leaders
From IABC’s Circle of Fellows . . .
The panel includes Amanda Hamilton-Attwell, James Lukaszewski, Ned Lundquist, and Leticia Narvaez. FIR podcast host Shel Holtz will moderate.
Live on May 17, 12:00 PM!!!
Explore the issues CEOs have chosen to talk about: decency, civility, immigration, race relations, income disparity, sustainability, sexual orientation and gender rights, sexual harassment and assault, plus a range of other divisive issues.
During the live podcast on May 17th, 12:00 pm, the panel will answer questions submitted in real time via Twitter using the hashtag #COF33.
Every day the U.S. and many other countries see companies and public officials go down.
The reactions by perpetrators are predictable:
▪ Silence ▪ Stalling ▪ Victim confusion (Predators claims they are the real victims) ▪ Testosterosis (verbally slapping around people, accusers, the media, in addition to their victims)) ▪ Denial (I did not have sex with that woman) ▪ Diversion (I am not a crook) ▪ Lying (I never crossed that line) ▪ Arrogance (They asked for it) ▪ Search for the Guilty (Blame shifting) ▪ Reverse denigration (I am not a racist) ▪ Fear of the Media ▪ Whining (Woe is me) ▪ Phony apologies (If I offended you, I’m sorry)
Employees are demanding that good companies speak up.
As more and more companies, leaders and senior executives become casualties of sexual assault, #MeToo, #Standup, #Whatsnext, and the prospect of some of previously shunned or ejected offenders returning to work or the public eye, more and more good organizations will have to take stands.
▪ What are the risks and rules? ▪ What are the pitfalls and potholes to avoid? ▪ What if your company is led by perpetrators and offenders? ▪ What if employees are insistent but the boss is resistant? ▪ What if the lawyers say no?
