Do you believe that ethics is necessary to make quality decisions in our lives? Do you believe that ethics is a vital component of a moral compass? Do you believe that practicing sound ethics is essential to living a successful and a fulfilling life? Most reasonable people would answer yes to all of these questions without much effort. […]

Entitlement & Indifference To Ethics In Government Agencies
Governmental agencies love to boast about their transparency, controls, the services they provide, yet their lack of ethics and self-serving behavior is quite disturbing. Take the Office of Veterans Affairs as a main focal point for the moment. It is incredible to fathom that they employ over 280,000 employees. How did we let our government […]
Ethical Lapses, Poor Controls, & Willful Blindness In Corporate Environments
Nothing should surprise us anymore when we learn of yet another large corporate scandal involving ethical lapses, poor controls, and coordinated willful blindness. Greed, arrogance, and entitlement continue to prevail and exist at many levels within organizations. The desire to make a lot of money apparently exceeds what is fair, reasonable, equitable, and legal. This […]
Why Ethics & Sales Practices Are Inseparable
Our business community often talks about how important customers or “guests” are to growth and profits. Yet, it is all too common for organizations to not tie together their ethics and sales practices in a meaningful sustained way. I am in contact with a fair number of organizations who are all trying to grow revenues and […]
Reflections, Ethics, & the Moral Compass
Have you reflected recently about your journey, ethics, and moral compass? I have and truly believe this is a meaningful exercise well worth undertaking. We can all expand our lenses, see larger pictures, and draw inspiration from purposeful men and women. In my life I have drawn considerable inspiration from the late basketball coach and […]
Corporate Arrogance & Indifference For Ethics
All too often we see attitudes of corporate arrogance and a general indifference for ethics. This is all too common within large organizations who noticeably are driven by compliance and regulatory pressures. The obvious obsession with compliance narrows the scope of their lenses, limits their understanding and appreciation for ethics, and ignores the most valuable […]
Eliminating Fraud In Your Organization and Creating Ethical Cultures
It is a common belief in the leadership ranks of most organizations that fraud is not a problem and that they operate ethical cultures. Nothing could be further from the truth as fraud is everywhere on some level, and cultures are never as ethical as they claim. No one has their arms around human conduct. It […]
Ethics, Moral Compasses, & Confronting Dilemmas
As 2014 winds down we are once again reminded of the lack of ethics and moral compasses in play on our planet; the horrific events that have transpired recently by other humans. How can we explain what the Taliban did murdering 146 innocent people in a Peshawar school? A spokesperson for the Taliban in Pakistan […]
Building Ethical Cultures & Preventing Fraud
Prior to celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, one of my favorite holidays of the year, I am reminded of the poor conduct visible to all of us on our planet and our very average ethical business cultures in place. Most organizations I talk with think they have the right systems, controls, procedures, policies, and stated values present […]
Doing the Right Thing & Personal Ethics
When it comes to personal ethics, I think the phrase “doing the right thing” is simply overused. Too often when the subject of personal or business ethics surfaces we are prone to declare do the right thing; as if this comes as easy as blinking our eyes. There is nothing easy in life about just […]
