I agree. The ethics policy is certainly set by the CEO, but the public actions that any given leader in the company chooses to make represent that leader's interpretation of the set policy, and these action set an example (i.e. establish a standard of acceptable conduct) for all of the employees under their charge. I also 100% agree though that the CEO is responsible for enforcing the ethics policy and also setting a good example to ensure a healthy and physically/mentally safe workplace. In this case (and my company), I believe the CEO is failing his employees. To me it's like an increasing number of modern CEO's lack the power or perhaps just the willingness to step in and get their people in line.
