Brian Crombie interviews Dr. Candice Chow, Assistant Professor at Degroote School of Business about the role of values in Leadership.

“Organizational culture can make or break one’s work experience”. That’s why Candice Chow has dedicated much of her life to unpacking the myriad issues that affect modern workplaces. “My current interests lie in examining the intricacies between strategic leadership, values, and corporate sustainability, ” says Chow, who recently joined the DeGroote School of Business as an Assistant Professor, Strategic Management.

“I truly believe strong values are key to influencing business strategies that benefit society as a whole. In practice, corporate sustainability strives to ensure long-term stakeholder value. This is achieved through developing a truly holistic business strategy – one that focuses on, for example, the social, cultural, and ethical aspects of doing business over an extended period of time.”
