A moral person
To be a moral person is someone who seeks only the best for the “Other.”
Davy Crockett and Ethics
Yesterday, Fess Parker died. For those of us who grew up with him playing Davy Crockett, he was a role model for a whole generation. The one line from Crockett that was used consistently was; “Find out what’s right and then do it!”
Still a great lesson today!

This is a great program called ETHOS Week and EMU does this every year. Last year I was privileged to be their keynote speaker. David Mielke does a fantastic job as Dean to consistently make ethics THE focal point of the Business School!
Crappy Ethics?
Crappy Ethics? Are we doomed? Or is there hope for the ethically challenged? During a spirited discussion in our office last week, the question was asked “What if someone just has crappy ethics?

Moral princple over legal compliance
“We need to emphasize moral principle over legal compliance. Legal principle is playing by enforceable rules; moral principle is obedience to the unenforceable.”
Rushworth Kidder
Virtue and Ethics
” The strength of a man’s virtue must not be measured by his efforts, but by his ordinary life.”
Blaise Pascal
