“BUSINESS ETHICS MUST BE PRESENTED, PRESERVED AND PROMOTED”
| |
| Business ethics are an almost daily topic in the news, in business schools, in the workplace and in our homes. I pay close attention to business ethics and what is written about them in my daily life as a strategic thinking, planning and business coach. I am still astounded at the remarks of major corporations a few years ago when they said they “waived or suspended” the ethics code or requirements. I am still at a total loss at how anyone can “suspend or waive” ethics.
While I may not be able to explain the suspension or waiving of ethics, I do hope to provide some solid advice on what business and other organizations need to do today to present, preserve and promote ethics in their organizations. Here are action items I would recommend:

The Critical Importance of Business Ethics For Effective Leadership, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
| |
| How important are business ethics to being an effective leader? According to the American Management Association, it is an important characteristic of effective leaders today. In a survey of 462 executives who were asked, “What characteristics are needed to be an effective leader today?” 56% ranked ethical behavior as an important characteristic, followed by sound judgment (51%) and being adaptable/flexible (47%).
However, with all due respect to the AMA survey, I strongly believe it is much more than “important,” it is a “critical, essential and non-negotiable” characteristic of an effective leader. Strong business ethics is a pillar of my strategic planning and strategic thinking business coaching efforts and clients are encouraged to develop core values and guiding principles and publish them. |

E + V + V + M = L

| Ethics + Virtues + Values + Morals = Life (and well-being). Why?
There seems to be some confusion about the terms Ethics, Values, Virtues and Morals. Certainly Ethics and Morals are used indiscriminately and are considered interchangeable as are Virtues and Values. Yet they each have a name and therefore a purpose.

The Ethical Road to Success
| |
| Do you remember the old Sunday school discussions on being fair and having ethics? Today, ethics may seem to have gone by the way side but most businesses do have a code of ethics written right into their mission statements, as well as into their corporate literature. Public confidence is achieved through codes of ethics when they are shared in company literature such as brochures or sales and promotional materials. |

Is Your CFO REALLY a Chief Financial Officer
| |
| No offense to all those dedicated, competent, excellent performing CFO’s out there but I have to admit that I run into a number of individuals in business that hold the respectable title of CFO (Chief Financial Officer) that shouldn’t be the Chief of anything. Oh, some of these CFO impersonators do a good job as an accountant and some may even qualify as a Controller. But, there are some that just shouldn’t hold the title of Chief Financial Officer.
“The chief financial officer (CFO) is a corporate officer primarily responsible for managing the financial risks of the corporation. This officer is also responsible for financial planning and record-keeping, as well as financial reporting to higher management. The CFO is also responsible for analysis of data”.
So…… ask yourself; is your CFO really a Chief Financial Officer. |
