Even so, the series is popular and Coos recommend other Coos to experience being “undercover. Questions think it’s ethical for a leader to go undercover. Someone in a position to make policy should experience all levels of the organization. If they are sincere about caring for employees as well as making a profit, going undercover will remind a leader to that their employees needs are different at different levels. It really depends on the inner personality whether going undercover truly affects the Leaders.
Sure, in front of a camera someone can finitely portray themselves as noble but could behave entirely different in a Board room. An article written in the online magazine Big Think titled, “Leaders Are More Likely To Be Sociopaths” states 2% to 4% of the population are such Sociopaths and they get into the leadership positions maybe 8% or 10% of the time.

If a leader truly supports employees and cares about the work environment they put into place methods to hire the right people as managers and monitor the work environment through open door policies and HER departments.
