Background
The RADAR Model is based on an approach to being proactive rather than waiting for problems to emerge. This model helps leaders and managers to have systems in place to recognize issues quickly. It is best to handle misconduct by avoiding it ever happening. Since this is close to impossible, having a program in place can alleviate a larger problem.
In the RADAR Model (Chapter 11; Figures 5) ethical leaders have a duty to recognize ethical issues, avoid misconduct, discover ethical risk areas, answer stakeholders’ concerns, and recover from the situation.
Instructions
You are the CEO. Your shareholders have expressed concern over ethical risks that could develop because the company does not conduct internal audits routinely. You are tasked with having each department manager create a plan for an internal audit using the RADAR Model
R = Recognize, A = Avoid, D = Discover, A = Answer, R = Recover
You have decided to prepare a PowerPoint presentation to explain what the RADAR Model is and how to use it. Explain how each letter of the acronym is used and give an idea how the department manager can apply this in the audit.
Step 1 – use PPT or Prezi to develop the presentation. Be creative and add visuals. (Minimum 5 slides)
Step 2 – prepare your audio part of the presentation in a transcriipt and cite.
Step 3 – use Kaltura video to record the presentation including the PPT slides. (No more than 5 minutes.)
Be sure to load the transcriipt, PowerPoint presentation, and Kaltura video into the drop box.
Length: This assignment must be 1 Transcriipt page; Minimum 5 PowerPoint slides; up to 5-minute audio/video (excluding the title and reference page).
References: Include 2-3 scholarly resources.
RADAR MODEL
11-11. The RADAR Model
We mentioned earlier that ethical leaders must be proactive and cannot just wait for problems to arrive. They must interact with employees and have systems in place to recognize or detect ethical issues before they arise. The best way of handling misconduct is to avoid it completely. However, even the best organizations suffer from ethical risks. For instance, Warren Buffett, considered to be one of the most ethical and highly respected CEOs, faced an ethical issue after one of his managers was accused of engaging in questionable stock trades based on confidential information inside the organization. Buffett accepted the manager’s resignation. When ethical misconduct or issues arise, the leader should have plans in place to answer stakeholder concerns and recover from misconduct. We adopted the acronym RADAR to describe an ethical leader’s duty to recognize ethical issues, avoid misconduct whenever possible, discover ethical risk areas, answer stakeholder concerns when an ethical issue comes to light, and recover from a misconduct disaster by improving upon weaknesses in the ethics program.
