責任感とは備わっているものであり、与えられるものではない
A leader can never give anyone ownership of a business initiative or objective. Ownership is always taken, and to take ownership requires the will to do so. A leader can no more give someone ownership than a leader can give someone will.
CSRは贖宥状とはならない
ビジネスリーダー達が、企業の社会的責任を果たすことで、倫理的に問題があるのではないかと考えられるようなビジネスの埋め合わせをしようとするのを目にすると、不安にさせられます。
