Description
In this video, Rob Fagan explores integrity in emergency management and humanitarian response, moving beyond rule-following to the real ethical challenges leaders face in crisis environments. Drawing on field experience, the discussion examines how ethical decision-making, accountability, power dynamics, donor pressure, cultural tensions, and scarce resources shape leadership under stress.

Designed for students and practitioners, this lecture connects integrity to trust, organizational culture, and long-term resilience, showing why ethical leadership is essential for effective disaster response and humanitarian operations.
