#55 Alison Taylor: How Can Companies Do the Right Thing

Welcome to the third season of Frankly Speaking!

We’re kicking it off strong with a crucial topic: trust and what can drive improving it in business?

To discuss this, Richard Howitt welcomes Alison Taylor, author of Higher Ground: How Business Can Do the Right Thing in a Turbulent World. Alison is a clinical associate professor at NYU Stern School of Business, Executive Director of the organization Ethical Systems, and has been involved with some major consulting organizations, including Control Risks, Preventable Surprises and Business for Social Responsibility.

In this episode, you’ll hear more about: 

• Why Alison advocates for companies to say less and do more - and whether there's a danger in that
• The challenge of balancing meaningful action with broader accountability
• The crucial distinction between trust and reputation management
• Why it's high time companies start treating people like human beings
