Author Chris MacDonald

Chris MacDonald

I’m a Toronto-based ethics consultant, speaker, and educator. My goal is to help organizations tame complex ethical issues.

I have a Ph.D. in philosophy, and a proven track-record as a communicator. I’m a university professor, and have been for over a decade. I teach at the Ted Rogers School of Management (where I am Director of the Jim Pattison Ethical Leadership Education & Research Program, at the Ted Rogers Leadership Centre, and host the Business Ethics Speakers Series) and am a Senior Fellow at Duke University’s Kenan Institute for Ethics. I also co-edit a new, open-access journal called The Business Ethics Journal Review.

I’ve provided educational and ethics consulting services to corporate boards, professional associations, hospitals, startup companies, major charitable foundations, and to the Canadian military. I’ve been a keynote speaker at national and international conferences. I’ve been called one of the “Top 100 Thought Leaders in Trustworthy Business Behavior” and I have been declared one of the “100 Most Influential People in Business Ethics,” several years in a row.

For several years, now, I’ve been the author of The Business Ethics Blog, the world’s #1 blog on that topic.

What Are Corporate Boards Ethically Obligated to Know?

Ethics
Of all the things a board could know, which things must it know, in order to do its job properly?

Just Because It’s Legal Doesn’t Make it Ethical

Ethics
Anyone who tells you, or simply implies, that whatever is legal is also ethical is most likely indulging in self-serving rationalizations.
