MIndfully Ethical
In this ethically hazy era, companies and organizations that are intentionally, mindfully ethical build credibility that sets them apart from so many others.
In this keynote, Randy will provide definitions, along with many, many stories of unethical behavior (from the extreme case of Bernie Madoff, to the ethical lapses of Wells Fargo, and Boeing, among others). And he will include stories of behaviors and decisions from mindfully ethical leaders within organizations.
Drawing from the seminal book Situation Ethics by Joseph Fletcher, Willful Blindness by Margaret Heffernan, and many other recent business books, Randy will help you know how to put needed safeguards in place to help build, and maintain, a mindfully ethical organization.
In his keynote, here are some of the points Randy will cover:
- So... what do we do? – Start here: Don't be willfully unethical!
- Decide on, commit to, “rules of conduct”
- Aim for the “goodwill” standard in all interactions, direct and indirect...
- Be perpetually self-correcting...
- Be “judgmental” about the ethical practices of your team, your department, your company (and, of course, your life) in order to call others to the highest standard of ethical conduct and motives...
- As you help build an ever-more Mindfully Ethical workplace, remember:
#1 – To be mindfully ethical means that you agree on a code to follow (a code of ethics, a code of conduct).
#2 – To be mindfully ethical means that you protect the good reputation of your department, and the company, against all charges of -- even hints of -- ethical failure.
#3 – To be mindfully ethical means that you stand up, in word and deed, against every lapse of or abandonment of ethical practice within and throughout your circle. Randy will issue this major reminder: “Suspect something, say something” – “See something, report something.”
#4 – To be mindfully ethical means that everyone gets the message to be mindfully ethical. It is communicated in every possible way, over and over again.
