• SUMMARY The American Red Cross ousted its
  president, Mark Everson, afterlearning that he
  had engaged in a "personal relationship" with a
  subordinateemployee. 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."
• QUESTIONS1.) Why do you think the Red Cross
  has had rapid turnover in its top positionsbased
  on, in this case, inappropriate relationship and
  with the past twopresidents, conflict and
  friction with the board if governors?2.) Most
  non-profit organization do not develop formal
  ethics programs similarto corporate ethics
  programs. Why do you think non-profits feel that
  they donot need to manage organizational
  ethics?3.) In this case, is there anything the
  Red Cross could have done to prevent MrEverson
  from creating a situation that damages the
  reputation of the Red Cross?
