DRPA hired
Rendell's former legal firm in 2007-08
The Philadelphia Inquirer,
February 18, 2009
By Paul Nussbaum |

The Delaware
River Port Authority spent nearly $2
million on outside legal firms in 2007
and 2008, and the biggest beneficiary
was the former firm of Gov. Rendell, who
chairs the DRPA.
The connection of the law firm, the
DRPA, Rendell, and Estey can create the
appearance of a conflict of interest,
even if no actual conflict exists, said
Thomas Donaldson,
professor of legal studies and business
ethics at Wharton business school at the
University of Pennsylvania. |

Should Leaders Apologize
for Mistakes? (Obama: ‘I Screwed Up’)
SHRM Online, February 2009
By Maria Williams |

When Tom Daschle removed
himself from consideration as secretary
of Health and Human Services on Feb. 3
amid a tax scandal, President Barack
Obama didn’t hide from taking full
responsibility for having backed him. It
was a striking moment: an unequivocal
public apology by an American president.
But was it politically wise? And what
useful parallels might Obama’s situation
have to the business world? Obama’s
Apology: Smart or Foolish? All of
the experts agreed that a sincere,
properly timed public apology from a
leader is a very good move and that
Obama handled it well. “The president
demonstrated leadership by recognizing
that this was a leadership mistake that
was jeopardizing his credibility with
respect to valuing ethics,” said
Brian Moriarty,
associate director for communications,
Business Roundtable Institute for
Corporate Ethics. |
