"In a new era of business, CEOs face a new mandate. Glamour and glitz are out. Transparency - in terms of ethics, values, and goals - is in."
This statement made about traditional business is an exciting detour from the past 40 years of "situation ethics."
We are the CEOs of our own corporations, and even though these corporations are managed from our homes, they are multimillion dollar opportunities and thus should reflect the highest ethical standards.
It's good to know that there is a desire for change regarding ethics in our culture. The bad news is that most people don't know how to make that transition.
Checkout a comment from a corporate president, "...changes in corporate values or strategies are often reflected in what our clients tell us they now seek in candidates...Yes, they still want key executives who can make the company money, are willing to make tough decisions, and fit the management team, but now there is a stronger concern for integrity, not playing it quite so close to the edge, and taking a somewhat longer view in strategies and the setting of more realistic, more conservative goals."
It's nice to see that integrity of an individual is moving up the ladder from last place!
The situation can be summed up in the following parable.
Consider this parable: About two hours into a transatlantic flight, passengers heard a voice over the loudspeaker saying, "This is your pilot. We are currently cruising at 35,000 feet at an air speed of 700 knots. We have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is we're lost. The good news is we're making excellent time."
My next article entitled "How the Global Marketplace is Attempting to Resolve this Ethical Dilemma will examine what the marketplace is really doing.
