While most approaches to ethical decisions tend to overlook their subjective, interpersonal, and social dimensions, we suggest an approach that hopefully allows meaningfully embracing them. To do so, we develop a systemic approach to Hirschman’s Exit Voice Loyalty (EVL) model. Using the context of 37 executive coaches, our research shows that coaches’ reactions to ethical conflicts can be understood by looking at the system of reactions that actors maintain regarding multiple entities, and that these reactions and the system they constitute evolve over time. Through this systemic approach, we first develop perspectives that encourage new ways of using the EVL model; second, we discuss how this model allows coaches to meaningfully embrace ethical conflicts by constructively using them.

From this perspective, this research explores the intrapersonal interplay of emotions and reflexivity in ethical sensemaking. We analyzed thirty-seven semi-structured interviews conducted with executive coaches sharing a critical incident about an issue they framed as ethical. Our findings show that their ethical decisions unfolded over a three-phase emotional reflexive sensemaking process, where reflexivity allowed for the management of emotions in the form of emotional awareness, emotional unpacking, and emotional (dis)engagement. Therefore, we portray ethics as afabric, produced through the knitting of emotions and reflexivity. And, while ethics certainly appear to be produced by the subject, we suggest a reciprocal relationship, whereby the very fabric of ethics contributes to the production of the ethical subject.

This plurality of voices is designed to foster dialogue, questions, and solutions; this setting, supportive of reflexivity, critical thinking, and diversity awareness, is essential to the development and education of coaches in an increasingly complex world where ready-made solutions prove limited. Thus, beyond a ‘toolkit approach’, this book engages in a thought-provoking and multi-perspective journey in support of the professionalization and continuous education of coaches, instructors, and/or supervisors.

Papers by Pauline Fatien Diochon
There are very many case studies of business best practice when engaging with social, environmental and ethical issues. But when educators look for resources to illustrate to students the more typical examples of bad – let alone scandalous – practices of some firms, the cupboard is almost entirely bare. And yet there is a critical need for business educators to expose students and managers to such issues to understand the different multifaceted phenomena of our late capitalist era; to support critical, reflective moral development; and to reflect and understand the complexities of organizational life. To argue that such cases deal with the bad apples in an otherwise functioning system misses the point. Whether focusing on the phone-hacking scandals at national newspapers, the influence of big pharma companies on clinical trials, the Bhopal tragedy or the use of child labour in the garment industry, the problems discussed are of major importance and in many cases have been demonstrated to be common practice for particular companies. Good news they are not, but all are stimulating and present students with dilemmas and decisions to make in a myriad of ways.
Each of these 14 selected cases from 2009–2012 has been thoroughly documented, peer-reviewed and edited. They cover four continents (Asia, the Americas, Europe, and Oceania) and both business and public organizations. The industries covered range from extractive industries, the energy industry, consumer products, pulp and paper, movies, media, municipal affairs, academia, banking, and the drug industry. The book is split into three sections: “Community and Environment”; “Human Rights and Business”; and “Ethics and Policy”. As with the previous volume, these cases are all supported by teaching guidance and comprehensive teaching notes available free of charge to faculty.
Cet ouvrage éclaire ces questions en mobilisant les recherches françaises et internationales de psychologues, psychanalystes ou encore sociologues. Son approche globale du coaching dans les organisations offre un état des lieux inédit sur cette pratique.
