“The turmoil in the House of Representatives should remind leaders of what can happen when people behaving unethically are allowed to continue in their roles without sanction,” Ann Gregg Skeet, director of leadership ethics at Santa Clara University’s Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, said via email.

“There is always the potential for their behavior to have spillover effects and disrupt the focus of an organization,” she warned.
