Ethicast: Understanding the Dark Pattern of Misconduct

In this episode, we speak with Guido Palazzo, professor of business ethics at the University of Lausanne and his book, The Dark Pattern: The Hidden Dynamics of Corporate Scandals, which identifies nine toxic elements—a so-called “dark pattern”—that lead to corporate scandals. It also offers nine actionable lessons—or a “bright pattern”—for building morally resilient organizations.

Watch to hear about:

• Identifying the “dark pattern” that unites the worst corporate scandals
• Addressing the systemic cultural issues that get companies in trouble
• Handling the psychological impact that scandals have on employees
• Rejecting the dark for a bright pattern of integrity
