Seven months ago, the Mavericks organization was rocked by a Sports Illustrated report detailing a rampant, toxic workplace culture of sexual harrassment and related misconduct. This scandal went all the way to the top, involving the then-CEO, the head of HR, and the team’s internal reporter, Earl K. Sneed. (To refresh your memory, we have a more detailed timeline of events.)
The Mavericks have taken steps since then to find out what went wrong. They hired a new interim CEO, former AT&T executive Cynthia Marshall, with a mandate to make the Mavericks a model workplace culture.
