the qualitative side of the research we
0:12
conducted interviews and focus groups
0:14
across five organizations we interviewed
0:18
79 participants in total which included
0:21
46 individual interviews with leaders in
0:24
the organizations and then 16 focus
0:27
groups with groups of followers that
0:29
were reporting to the leaders two of the
0:36
particularly interesting findings that
0:38
came out of the qualitative research
0:39
well firstly about the importance of
0:42
vision in these organizations so having
0:45
a clear and ethical vision that was set
0:48
by the senior leaders in the
0:49
organization and then communicated down
0:52
clearly and articulately to the people
0:56
at the bottom of the organization
0:57
through the intermediate levels of
0:58
management having that done effectively
1:00
was very important in building a strong
1:04
and purposeful leadership culture in the
1:06
organization I think the second thing
1:08
was particularly interesting to know
1:09
that was important was having a culture
1:12
where people felt open and comfortable
1:14
to challenge one another where they
1:16
observed unethical behavior and that
1:18
could be both through challenging one
1:20
another in person where they see people
1:22
doing something unethical and then
1:24
confront them directly or through
1:25
challenging things by reporting them
1:27
through formal anonymized reporting or
1:31
whistleblowing processes and all of the
1:33
case study organizations that we looked
1:34
at in the qualitative research had some
1:38
challenges with those but also generally
1:40
demonstrated quite good practice and
1:42
having both of those things and I think
1:44
them for all of them those were two key
1:46
components in their success of those
1:48
organizations and demonstrating
1:50
purposeful leadership and there are a
1:52
lot more interesting findings in the
