ethics and corporate busines in America, hey right

ETHICS … in contemporary America the exercise of – ethics - can truly be a “career killer.”

The political cartoon referenced – pictures 2 businessmen approaching a street food vendors cart which has in big bold letter on the front – ETHICS … caption is … “don’t even think about it, Bob, that stuff can be a real career killer in the boardroom” …

From 2000 forward our political and corporate battlefields are littered with the carcasses of those who allowed their ethics to rise above the fray.

And most of the time, their “thanks” from us, was to be summarily dismissed, rebuked, disavowed, stonewalled and black-balled. Someone choosing such a course surely can not be wise. The politically accepted “wise” thing to do was merely stay the course. They remember only what “we” tell you to, or so our corporate masters believe.

Coursing just out of their sight an evolving paradigm is taking shape clearly divergent from what they espouse. Ethics, transparency are the linchpins to which we adhere.

Soon it will be that if ethics and transparency are not honestly part of you, a career which is “road-kill” you will become.
