Entitled 鈥淎 way forward: Cascading ethical and change leadership, values enactment, and group-level effects on commitment in corruption recovery,鈥� it was co-authored by 蜜桃传媒 alum Rick Cotton, 蜜桃传媒 Professor and Robert A. and Evelyn J. Ferris Chair Jean Bartunek, and retired 蜜桃传媒 Professor Bill Stevenson. The co-authors conducted a survey of over 2,000 employees at an insurance company and found that new leadership made a difference in the recovery of the firm following corruption.
