Though the number of cases of ethical scandals in corporate America continues to increase, some companies are still not deterred. It takes as little as one employee’s action to expose a major ethical breech. Yet, some company leaders still do not understand.

Why don’t people THINK before they do something? Don’t they realize that there is always a price to pay for what they do? Sometimes the price goes on and on and on,i.e. Tiger Woods, Gov. Sanford.
Oh Boy! What goes around comes around. Bishops are like CEOs and the buck stops with them. How could the clergy sex scandal in Ireland have gone on so long and they did nothing to stop it and now it is all over the internet about how sorry they are. If you’re going to lead…
