CR’s Elephant-in-the Room: Where’s the Money?

 

A CROs Accountability & Financial Impact Pulse Survey.

By Dirk Olin and Jay Whitehead
 
It is true that CEOs and CROs are the chief custodians of core values for corporate stakeholders—including investors, employees, customers, supply chains, customers, creditors, and government. But among executives who fill a dozen key line management roles, two elephant-in-the-room questions loom large in corporate responsibility.

Steering Through Stormy Seas

 White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel famously declared, “you never want a serious crisis to go to waste.”  Although the recession appears to be ending as we approach Q4 of 2009, many corporations are still confronting market environments that threaten their core values. In the recently published 7 Lessons for Leading in Crisis, Harvard Business School Professor Bill George—former CEO of Medtronic and best-selling author of Finding Your True North—contends that the economic calamity of 2008-09 was ultimately caused by a failure of corporate leadaership. Interested in positive lessons to counterbalance those failings, CRO magazine presents this exclusive excerpt from George’s impressive work to help guide our readers through whatever maelstroms they might confront—now or in the future.

First, it recognizes individual CEO expertise in articulating the common good and then convincing thousands of others to make a good business out of it. Second, it’s a trophy for leadership in progress, because perfection in Corporate Responsibility is a goal that’s always moving just beyond our grasp. And third, it reflects the professional chauvinism of the corporate responsibility-obsessed editorial team at CRO Magazine, the only publication solely focused on the four professional domains in Corporate Responsibility—GRC, sustainability, CSR and philanthropy.
