How would you feel if CEOs told you & your family How to Vote? For me, it is an alarming trend.
UPDATE: After this post, CEOs have cut back on telling employees and customers how to vote, so Sandra is buying Unilever’s TRESemme and Dove products again 🙂
I read a post in Harvard Business Review about concerns with CEOs trying to influence how people vote There is even a PR research study on it. (Update: since this post there are articles in The Washington Post & the Naples Daily News on why “Consumers aren’t buying CEO Politics”). To me Politics, Business & Religion are three very different realms, and they should not tell each other what to do. I am very concerned by a trend I am seeing among a handful of mostly male Davos CEOs and today, on the day that the UK Votes on #Brexit I am speaking up. The Economist had a cover post recently about how people’s Freedom of Speech is under attack (even on social media) and how it is time to speak up. It is one thing if a CEO is asked by an employee or friend what their view is on a political or religious topic. It is quite another for CEOs to be tweeting or appearing in front of the media and telling employees and customers how to vote (one American banker threatened to take jobs away from the UK if they voted #Brexit and a California CEO has bullied US Governors, a female University President & NC’s Moms). Women executives have asked me to discuss this topic. WATCH my BREXIT VIDEO to UK-based Unilever CEO (he is one of my favorite CEOs but even he’s been tweeting how to vote on Brexit to his employees & customers (70% Women). They own Lever, Lipton, Dove, Axe, Hellmann’s & TreSemme. I highlight 5 Things people might want to know about Democracy. For the time being, I won’t be able to use their products as much as I really like his work on sustainability. It goes against my conscience. CLICK TO VIEW:

Executive Career Coach Sandra Rupp answers the 2011 DAVOS QUESTION for The World Economic Forum: HOW CAN WE DRIVE INCLUSIVE GROWTH AND PROSPERITY? Watch her 1 minute summary video below.
We have a $70 trillion global economy but 80% of the world’s population live on less than $10 a day and 50% of the world’s population live on less than $2 a day. How can we close that gap & create NEW ECONOMIC GROWTH?
Sandra’s Answer: “Invest in & Empower The Feminine Leadership Style” includes a 7 Step Plan incorporating Boards, Banks, Venture Capital and Communities. Her vision and plan includes creating companies/products/services that improve the lives of many others. The Feminine Leadership Style is inclusive, creative and not necessarily gender specific. She calls it “the largest economic opportunity worldwide.” In partnership with the Masculine Leadership Style, it will help create inclusive economic growth & a better world. Yin + Yang = Success. Best wishes from Sandra Rupp.
