21st Century Marketing
How marketing has changed forever...and what to do about it For 10 years leading up to the new millennium, the US economy rolled merrily along. Confidence was high and business was strong. But starting in the spring of 2001, the economy has resembled Disney World’s Space Mountain ride—off-balance, in the dark, without any idea when the ride will end. The dot-com bomb, corporate scandals like Enron, and ongoing conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq have reshaped our economy into one based on uncertainty.

The Business of Ethics and The Ethics of Business
In 2002 the corporate world in the United States was rocked with scandals. Enron, Arthur Anderson, WorldCom, Citi Group, HCA, Tyco and others were headline news in print and the lead story on the television news because of business ethics failures. This caused me to reemphasize and stress to each of my clients then and now, the importance of business ethics and to challenge each of my clients to integrate their core values into their policies, practices and decision making. And I recommend that they rededicate themselves to conducting business to the highest ethical standards.
“Business Ethics – What’s Happening Where We Work?”
The National Business Ethics Survey (NBES) provides an overview of ethics in the workplace and the 2005 version indicates that ethical misconduct is increasing. And this is after Enron, et al. The NBES included more than 3,000 American workers and their survey showed that more than half of American workers have observed at least one type of ethical misconduct in the workplace. Yet, employee reporting of the misconduct they observe is down by 10%. This is cause for alarm, in my opinion, and more businesses need to be aware of what is happening with ethics at work today.

These other significant risks and costs from unethical behavior include:

“Building An Environment of Ethical Behavior. Ten Tips From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach ”
Business ethics has become and has remained a popular news topic in today’s world thanks to Enron, Tyco, WorldCom, Adelphia, et al. We have read and heard about the “waiving of the ethics code or standard” and where compromises were made to ethical standards for business advantages. And now we hear about zero tolerance for unethical behavior. It now seems as though the pendulum is swinging strongly in the direction of zero tolerance for unethical behavior based upon the reactions to ethics misconduct cases across the corporate landscape. Good business leaders have ethics, character and integrity. You have to create an environment in your business that allows everyone to operate in an ethical manner. Here are ten (10) tips from your strategic thinking business coach on how to build an environment of ethical behavior.

Business Leadership NOW!
The leader's old role of charismatic superstar has been redefined as a dedicated team leader with a mission. Spectacular business failures such as Enron, Tyco and others, have shown that short term glory is short sighted and will eventually come back to haunt you. Learn strategies that effective leaders are using today.
Leadership with Integrity; how to ensure it exists in your organization
Throughout my career in Human Resources, I have had managers ask how, if they found themselves in a difficult situation, could they be sure to say the correct thing? “When in doubt think about these two things: treat people the way you would like to be treated and if you don’t want to read it or see it in the news, don’t say it!” It’s simplistic, yes, but advice that the VP HR at Enron could have been doling out. In the absence of strategic leadership and clearly reinforced corporate culture or values, these are two basic considerations for managers running an organization today.

What Do You Do If Your Company Is Involved In A Scandal
The events involving Enron and Worldcom brought to light the plight of employees caught in an unpleasant and potentially career-damaging situation not of their own making. But these situations are not limited to major scandals and many employees face similar dilemmas within other organizations. The question is what, if anything, can they and should they do?
