Leadership Training And Coaching Depends On Great Role Models<\/h3>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

One way to develop character through leadership training and coaching<\/strong> is to provide role models who demonstrate integrity above and beyond what people would ever expect.\u00a0 Jim Burke, the CEO of Johnson & Johnson during the Tylenol murders, responded to the crisis in a way that<\/p>\n

is still used as example of character years later.\u00a0 He responded to the fatalities produced by someone who contaminated packages of Tylenol with cyanide by recalling every single container of Tylenol across the country.\u00a0 He then highly publicized the potential hazards of taking the product until new packaging could be developed.\u00a0 Many people thought this decision was going to be the end of the company.<\/p>\n

Character and Integrity Can Be Contagious<\/h3>\n

.<\/span>
\nDuring one interview, Jim Burke said that his decision wasn\u2019t difficult even though others thought the results would be disastrous to the company at that time.\u00a0 He felt that he really had no other choice since for years the company had told its employees and the public that Johnson and Johnson was committed\u00a0 to do the right thing \u2013 no matter the price.\u00a0 The company had created an environment where there was no other choice but to take the high ground.\u00a0 Even at the risk of the business going bankrupt.
\n
\nWould Jim Burke make the same decision in another environment?\u00a0 I would like to think so.\u00a0 Either way, this story shows the effect that leadership training and coaching<\/span> can make within a company and perhaps even the world.
