In this solo episode, I explore what the Netflix drama Toxic Town can teach us about moral leadership.

Using James Rest’s Four-Component Model of ethical decision-making, I contrast two characters – Roy Thomas and Sam Hagen – and examine how their choices offer a powerful lens for executive leaders navigating complexity, responsibility, and risk.

This episode is especially relevant for anyone in a leadership role asking:

  • What makes ethical action possible?
  • How do status and proximity to power shape our moral clarity?
  • And what can we do to develop the courage to act when it counts?

If you read my recent Suite Spot newsletter, this conversation will take the thinking a step deeper.

🎧 Listen in to reflect on the anatomy of moral failure – and what it takes to lead with integrity.
