<description><![CDATA[One of my first clients calls me periodically to ask questions, and get my advice for free, sometimes keeping me on the phone for hours. She recently purchased a new laptop computer, and was having problems with Outlook and getting her contact list restored to the new system from her backup copies. She made a series of appointments for me to come out and help her make the transition. I say "series" because she would make the appointment, and then the night before call to say that she thought she'd figured out the problem, or finally got some help from the company she purchased the new laptop from, one of my first suggestions.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How do you quantify ethics training? How can you begin to quantify something that didn't happen, something that was avoided? Maybe the more appropriate measure would be to consider the multiple Fortune 500 corporations who have evaporated in the past two decades specifically because of the ethical lapses of its leaders and employees. Hence, there is value in ethics training that extends beyond an otherwise discrete metric.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[An investor(s) may be wishing you a short life after betting on your early death. If you, or someone who bought a life insurance policy on your life, sold the policy, an investor(s) hopes you die soon. The policy can be resold as an individual policy on your life or as a package of policies--like mortgages or any other real property. Government regulations are lax as they were on mortgage derivatives before the Great Recession. Between you and the ultimate investor(s), a short-term broker (bank or other firm) can make a big profit on bogus claims about your health and life expectancy. Not only can they sell bets on your life; they can make your life part of a scam.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One of the hardest challenges in leadership - business or otherwise - is to ensure that power is exercised legitimately. Surrounding yourself with "your own people" when this really means surrounding yourself with people who will always agree with you is a common trait of an insecure leader, but very common in business circles. Some leaders are aware if these dangers and deliberately seek the counsel of a trusted advisor who will tell the truth. But what happens when the truth is very, very ugly? In this story, Henry, a determined and powerful leader faces this challenge.]]></description>

Many people make a huge fuss about 'seeking truth' while others profess that if they believe something to be true then it is; BUT should someone else believe a differing opinion is true, then that is "their " truth.

<description><![CDATA[In the position of leadership, as in the person in charge of a company, do we discuss our personal value system? Is this of great importance to discuss? It is my belief that this is one of the critical foundational building blocks which has been missing for a number of years and is a contributing factor to the current leadership void which exists today in corporate America. This is not to say bring your religious beliefs or spiritual practices exactly as these are practiced into the workplace.]]></description>

You see if we begin from the position of life being only short term (<100 years) and that what we should be doing is maximising our utility then logic dictates that we should be orientated to Utilitarianism - or the question of 'What is good?' - in terms of a good outcome.]]></description>

There was absolutely no way that they would not find a way to tell the client or prospect that they'd heard something bad about their competitor, all under the guise that they were looking to protect THEM.

<description><![CDATA[As the most controversial person in the screen printing industry, you can imagine that I have had to learn a few things the hard way. In sales and in life, perception is reality. Your competitors will often say or do anything to sway a buyer away from your product or service and in the direction of their own.

So often in this type of situation, your competitors will resort to attacking your business/personal ethics. If this is your competitors' only ammunition in "the battle" for market-share, then by positioning your "ethical arsenal" from a superior vantage point you have already "won the war." Below I have outlined some key concepts to keep in mind in "the business battlefield" when situations with your competition publicly challenge your ethics.]]></description>
