Email Vic<\/span><\/a><\/span> To Learn More About Onsite and Online Workshops at Your Company<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n I have been been training businesses and educational institutions using a unique approach to ethics management. Our ‘Right vs Right’ workshop has been taught at UC Santa Cruz’s Leadership and Management Programs. By incorporating our workshop managers gain a deeper understanding of ethics’ role in their workplace. They also gain essential leadership tools for creating and sustaining a healthy company.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s troubling business climate requires that organizations have a thorough understanding of ethics so that appropriate decisions can be made when dilemmas arise. But ethics management consists of more than knowing what to do once a problem arises. Appropriate ethical action can only be applied when company managers are committed to leading from an ethical rightness based on values, not just the law. A broader education on ethics can help to reduce legal action by teaching managers how to make clear decisions early in the process.<\/p>\n 1PRINCIPLE – 2PRACTICE – 3POLICY \u00a0<\/span>and \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>4PEOPLE – 5PROFIT – 6PLANET<\/span><\/p>\n These ethical concepts for company managers to comprehend:<\/strong><\/p>\n Knowing the ‘why, \u2018how’, and ‘what’ of ethics allows managers to:<\/strong><\/p>\n Join our ethical business community at Entrepreneurs for a Better World<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Based on the book ‘Defining Moments<\/a>‘ by Joseph Badaracco<\/p>\n Ever find yourself choosing between corporate and personal values? What process do you employ to approach ethical problems? This interactive workshop will explore ethical decision-making through the views of Joseph Badaracco’s book “Defining Moments”. Multiple perspectives from great thinkers including Aristotle, Machiavelli, and William James will be considered. Participants will learn to make ethical decisions by asking a series of ‘right-versus-right’ (rather than right vs wrong) questions aimed at clarifying ethical dilemmas and making better strategic decisions.<\/p>\n This ‘Right vs Right’<\/strong> workshop will help your organization be more successful by helping its people make better day-to-day. Whether you are part of a large or small organization, the success of your business now requires that decisions be made based on a larger perspective.<\/strong><\/p>\n The ‘Right vs. Right’ concept for decision-making will help to:<\/strong><\/p>\n ‘Right vs. Right’ practices will help to define a more strategic enterprise that is aligned with today\u2019s global society.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Outer Skin<\/strong>: Ethical Policy of the Organization relating to Customer and Supply Chain Relations I also offer facilitated cafe conversations and other collaborative design solutions relating to ethics through DiscoveryColabs.com<\/a><\/strong>. Shift your company’s orientation from \u2018passively listening to a presentation\u2019 to \u2018actively engaging in a conversation. An organization’s commitment to ethics provides value beyond simply getting employees to do the right thing. By engaging in ethical conversations, a company actually opens doors to new forms of innovation at all levels of the enterprise – from hiring quality staff, to producing better products and services.<\/p>\n The conversation will be focused on three primary influences upon organizational ethics: principles, practices, and policies<\/strong>. We will discuss personal understandings of these terms, how they relate to ethical activity within companies, and how both corporate and individual values play a role in building a balanced ethical practice within enterprise and its implications on innovation.<\/p>\n Ask me for a copy of \u00a0my ethics conversation slides and conversation table cards.<\/em><\/p>\n Review more of my articles on the link between values, ethics, and leadership<\/a>.<\/p>\n + + +<\/p>\n<\/a>From Ethics To Innovation<\/h2>\n
