    The CEO Can't Afford To Panic

    Uploaded by

    Amrit Prasad
    The CEO of Kaspa Financial Services faces a dilemma of whether to allow first responders to use the company lobby to treat survivors of a terrorist attack in Boston. An ethical leadership style would position the company as believing in corporate social responsibility and improving its brand image and customer loyalty, but it may not be economically viable and could lead to legal issues. An autocratic style would allow a quick decision to save lives, but may conflict with legal advisers and staff who don't want the lobby used as a morgue, causing future disharmony. An authentic leadership style would win employee hearts by caring for them through this example, but it may lead to financial losses or go against company values and interests
