The implications of Saville, Snowdenand whistleblowing for OD practice
‘UNDISCUSSABLES’
Other ethical themes
Misconduct is widespread Much unreported People don't trust leaders will
act Rather than report, more likely
to walk
Management Agenda 2014
Misconduct widespread – circa half of managers have observed misconduct in their organisation
Much unreported – ½ of managers choose not to report it, and 1/5 board directors not reporting.
Why? – ½ managers don’t believe action will be taken, and ¼ fear reprisals.

Walk don’t report

Most likely response is formal action (disciplinary or demotion) (19%)
15% of whistleblowers are dismissed Senior whistleblowers are more likely to be dismissed
