Those entering the workforce increasingly say they want to work with companies with whose values they align. But any institution older than 50 years, likely has some historical skeletons to address. Women in leadership can help prevent institutions from erasing institutional connections to history’s darkest chapters. Whether facing the legacies of slavery, Indigenous exploitation, the Holocaust, or other atrocities, they can help prevent their institutions from losing public trust and forfeiting moral credibility and - in doing so - make the institution more values aligned for all employees and other stakeholders. The talk is based on Sarah Federman’s forthcoming book, Corporate Reckoning: How Businesses Can Address Historical Wrongs (MIT Press 2026)
