Ethics in Today's Business World

The positive ethics within a company start with top management. Mike clarifies that we can not expect our people to operate with the utmost ethics, if they are not observing the same from the bosses. We are ALWAYS leading by example, whether it is positively or negatively.

Mike has served on the ethics committee for the 3,800 member, National Speakers Association and is constantly used as a sounding board for ethical answers to many questions within his industry.

Among the items he covers in his ethics presentations are:

• Since ethical behavior is not always a 'black and white' issue, he offers a simple formula for determining if a decision will be looked at as ethical
• The difference between legal and ethical
• Why we want to operate our business ethically - how we can be looked up to in our community, among our peers, with our fellow workers and with our customers
• How we can be sure we are on track
• Many examples of positive and negative ethics in various industries.. including examples from the industry for whom he is doing his presentation (with input from management to be sure the examples are on target)
