Tony Hayward

I know we used Tony Hayward in our group presentation but I would like to bring him into our discussion on ethics. I think that Tony Hayward is a great example of "were his decisions ethical or not." recently I watched a show on trueTV that kind of exposed a little bit more about the BP oil spill than we had discovered in our team presentation. One of the main aspects that I found interesting was BP's ignorance in their methods of clean up as well as their ties to the corporations doing the clean up. This raises some ethical questions in Tony Hayward's leadership. We all saw that Tony Hayward had a very lazie-fair attitude toward leadership and I feel taht this raises some ethical questions as to why Tony Hayward sold so much of his stock right before this accident and why BP acquired subsidiaries involved in this clean up before it happened. The ethical questions here are riased because there is a possibility that BP and its subsidiaries made more money cleaning up the gulf oil spill than they would have made from selling the oil.
