Leadership and Ethics: Lessons From the Battlefield to the Boardroom

Our Thirty Minute Mentors: Leadership and Ethics: Lessons From the Battlefield to the Boardroom course features Lieutenant General Reynold Hoover, a retired three-star Army general who served as the deputy commander of the United States Northern Command (the command that serves as the primary defender against a potential invasion of the United States). General Hoover was also a senior intelligence service officer with the CIA, a Homeland Security Adviser to the White House, Chief of Staff of FEMA and an adviser to the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. He also worked as a special agent with the ATF, was a lawyer in private practice and worked as an executive for a Fortune 500 Company.

In this course, you will learn more about ethics in leadership as General Hoover shares stories from his career with Adam Mendler. Together they discuss the Honor Code, how to make ethical decisions, what makes a great leader, fostering an ethical organizational culture, whistleblowing, the importance of protecting confidential and sensitive information, conflicts of information and more.
