14 Buffalo Business Spring 2019 "So, you start by creating checks and balances around harassment and discrimination. And, then you move on to helping people understand each other's differ- ences and ultimately leverage those differences, so everyone can contribute to their full capacity." In broadening the conversation beyond sexu- al harassment, Mara Swan of ManpowerGroup says #MeToo has put a magnifying glass on the continu- ing lack of women in leadership. "These issues tended to be the responsibility of HR, but now it's moved into the C-suite because lead- ership teams feel a responsibility not just for how women in the company are treated, but also for the company's reputation and brand," says Swan, a regu- lar speaker on gender parity at the World Economic Forum. "Top leadership has to own it. If the CEO be- lieves he or she wants a certain culture, you will have that culture. "Women's issues are greater than #MeToo," she continues. "It's an important conversation because everyone should feel safe at work, but the real prob- lem is women's human potential being underused." Training the next generation As issues of workplace harassment, business ethics and gender parity make headlines and gen- erate conversation, business schools can play a crit- ical role by training the next generation of ethical, inclusive leaders. The School of Management's mis- sion promises to "produce principled and insightful leaders who create positive change in the world." The school envisions a "world of transformational lead- ers and organizations who change society for the better." "In the School of Management, when we talk about ethical leadership, it starts with a core set of values and principles that reflect what we stand for as a community: inclusiveness, civility, respect, tol- erance, valuing people as individuals and appreci- ating the differences they bring to any situation," says Paul Tesluk, professor and dean of the School of Management. #METOO " I'm hopeful the #MeToo movement was spurred because there has been cultural change in the first place. It wasn't sparked by Harvey Weinstein. It was sparked by women having more influence in society and being more respected."
