Red Cross President Is Ousted

Over Relationship With Employee

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119619004451105488.html?mod=djem_jiewr_be

SUMMARY: The American Red Cross ousted its president, Mark Everson, after

learning that he had engaged in a "personal relationship" with a subordinate

employee The board "concluded that the situation reflected poor judgment on

Mr Everson's part and diminished his ability to lead the organization in the future."

QUESTIONS:

1.) Why do you think the Red Cross has had rapid turnover in its top positions

based on, in this case, inappropriate relationship and with the past two

presidents, conflict and friction with the board if governors?

2.) Most non-profit organization do not develop formal ethics programs similar

to corporate ethics programs Why do you think non-profits feel that they do

not need to manage organizational ethics?

3.) In this case, is there anything the Red Cross could have done to prevent Mr

Everson from creating a situation that damages the reputation of the Red Cross?
