Frank Bucaro, a leading expert and advocate on the power of ethical leadership in business, will deliver the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s annual State Farm Ethics Lecture at 3:30 p.m. Nov. 3 at the Lied Center for Performing Arts.
Organized by the College of Business Administration, the talk, “The Trust Puzzle: A Leader’s Guide to Ethics in Business,” is free and open to the public.
“(Frank) is known for providing practical ideas to help with difficult ethical decisions,” said Donna Dudney, associate dean of business administration and associate professor of finance. “This is a great opportunity to learn from a national-recognized expert and gain a toolbox of ethical decision-making strategies.”
Bucaro, who taught moral theology and ethics for 18 years, took a unique career path from the classroom to the boardroom. After a succession of high profile media reports on unethical practices in the marketplace captured his attention, he left teaching to start his own business. He is the author of “The Trust Puzzle: How to Keep Your Company on the Ethical High Road” and “Trust Me! Insights into Ethical Leadership.” He has also been published in a variety of industry publications such as Compliance & Ethics Professional, Corporate Compliance Insights and Ethisphere.
Through the State Farm Lecture Series, the college has hosted more than 15 speakers on business ethics topics.
The university’s business ethics program was founded in 1998. The program focuses on integrating ethics and the discussion of ethical issues throughout the college’s curriculum. In addition to the State Farm Lecture Series, the program maintains a library of resources and coordinates the college’s student ethics board. For more information, click here.
