Why CEOs Are Taking a Stand
By: Aaron K. Chatterji and Michael W. Toffel
Abstract
In this podcast, we discuss the emerging phenomenon of CEO activism. We explain how political polarization in the U.S. and employee expectations around company values are pushing corporate leaders to enter into controversial political and social debates. We also hear from PayPal CEO Dan Schulman who talks about standing up for transgender rights and what he tells other CEOs who ask his advice on taking on an activist role.
