Director Podcast Moral Dilemmas in the Boardroom

In the boardroom, directors often face tough decisions that balance competing interests and moral norms - impacting employees, customers, shareholders, and society.

These decisions are frequently misunderstood, criticised, and sometimes seen as unethical, potentially harming corporate reputation. Despite their significance, we rarely ask: How are these decisions made? What role do moral norms and identity play? And why do companies sometimes misinterpret these norms so badly?

In this episode, Ben Walker is joined by Prof. Dr. Mijinte Luckerath-Rovers (author of ‘Moral Dilemmas in the Boardroom’) and Dr Roger Barker (IoD Director of Policy and Corporate Governance) to discuss ethical challenges in the boardroom and the decisions that often stem from them. The conversation draws on both the findings of Mijinte’s book, and the IoD’s Code of Conduct for Directors.
