 David Edmondson, the president and CEO of well-known

responses to the
following question.
Slide
2-49
Using Radio Shack as an example, what should the company have
done when it learned of the falsehoods on Mr. Edmondson’s
résumé? Should Radio Shack have fired him?
NO: Mr. Edmondson had been a Radio Shack employee for 11 years.
He had served the company in a wide variety of positions, and had
earned the position of CEO through exceptional performance. While
the fact that he lied 11 years earlier on his résumé was unfortunate,
his service since then made this past transgression irrelevant. In
addition, the company was in the midst of a massive restructuring,
which included closing 700 of its 7,000 stores. It could not afford
additional upheaval at this time.
YES: Radio Shack is a publicly traded company. Investors,
creditors, employees, and others doing business with the company
will not trust it if its leader is known to have poor integrity. The
Slide “tone at the top” is vital to creating an ethical organization.
