What if the secret to success in leadership lies in something deeper than just strategy? In this episode, Dr. David Miller, Executive Director of the Princeton Faith & Work Initiative, dives into what it means to lead with integrity, why ethics should be a core part of every organization, and how faith, regardless of belief system, can shape values that stick. We explore why many people feel a “calling” for ethical leadership, and how faith can serve as a foundation for values-based decision-making. Dr. Miller also shares his approach to teaching ethics through the “Five Essential Questions,” which challenge leaders to think deeply about the source of their values, make ethical decisions in gray zones, and foster a culture of transparency. Dr. Miller also introduces his TAM model—believability, buy-in, and barometer—as a guide for companies pursuing ethical transformations.
