Walmart CEO’s Decision on Guns Is the Kind of Corporate Courage We Need
Abstract
Corporate courage is in short supply. CEOs generally avoid controversial public issues lest disgruntled groups strike back. That’s why Walmart’s actions to limit ammunition sales and advocate for new gun safety legislation mark a significant milestone. CEO Doug McMillon’s leadership heralds a new era of CEO courage in which the private sector takes responsibility for issues that elected officials are ducking.
