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.
4.5 Improving the performance of public services and formal sector enterprises: Working Out of Poverty
In many developing countries, pay and conditions in the public services have deteriorated badly over the long years of austerity associated with structural adjustment and the debt crises. This has seriously damaged morale and performance, led to the loss of some of the most talented public servants to the private sector, increased the risk of public servants resorting to “charging” citizens for services by demanding under-the-counter payments, and weakened confidence in the function of government.

Business Ethics Guidelines: An Ethical Action Test From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
Each of us is ultimately responsible for our own actions. Although in today’s business world, I imagine many skeptics would take exception to that statement because there is evidence that people are not held accountable for their actions, even when they are unethical. And even more disturbing, some are even rewarded for unethical actions. Each of us makes a choice to act ethically or to act unethically. It is essential that we know what is ethical and what is unethical. But, more challenging and difficult than knowing what is ethical, is knowing what is right and then doing what is right. So what advice & guidance are available to check if the action is right before implementing a decision to act? Your strategic thinking business coach has a set of questions to provide guidance for ethical decisions & actions.

Part 1 - After the ball is over
The ball is very definitely over. A good time was had by all but what a mess to cleanup! This cleanup has been compounded by the errant behaviour of some of the leaders and organizers of the ball: unbounded greed, ethical standards have been eroded, personal values have been overturned, virtues have been diminished to the point of ridicule, morality has been questioned, integrity has been ignored, trust forgotten and the meaning of life seems to have been lost. This cleanup will be a massive task.

Ethics and Business - Why Bother?
I have embarked on a difficult journey in developing skills in Counselling with the University of Hertfordshire. Part of that is a commitment to an ethical framework set out by the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I consequently considered that I need to make a similar commitment to my Mentoring clients (or prospective clients). I have separately adapted/abbreviated the BACP framework Now in business many people describe themselves as ethical and portray themselves to their customers and partners in that way. Rarely do they actually set down in writing the ethical framework of how they will do business.

Coaching in Relation to Behavioural Styles and Patterns
When considering the effects of behaviour in business, business coaches have long used behavioural profiling tools like DISC, to produce data which equips them to work with business owners, enabling them to get their staff to understand their own behaviour, recognise the behaviour of people they interact with and then adapt accordingly. This increases their credibility and improves communication. Of course, this relates to the team as a whole, and recent research suggests that improvements in this area can have a significant affect on bottom line profits.
Keeping your Non-profit Ethical
One would expect a non-profit organization to maintain higher ethical standards than any of the for-profit business organizations. However, the unfortunate fact is that ethical standards of non-profit organizations in general are on the decline, and not much better than those of the for-profit enterprises. A recent report by the Ethics Resource Center says that the decline in ethical standards of the employees at non-profits is at its lowest level in the last 10 years.
Behavioural Intelligence – Noticing What Goes on in Meetings
Behaviour is what you say or do. It's not about what you think or feel. As human beings we have a unique brain structure which allows us to separate our behaviour from our feelings. Meetings and interactions at work are one of the places where this behavioural skill is most important and relevant. Behavioural Intelligence is about raising awareness, so that you notice your own and others' behaviour, and make conscious decisions about it.
