Think about this.
You use a band aid for a scratch or a minor cut as the “wound” is not that serious and eventually you remove the band aid and all is well. No skills, No training in putting on a band aid, i.e. no real techniques and only minimal knowledge are needed. Anyone can do this.
When a wound i.e. artery, needs to be sutured, it is serious and if not done right, could cause more suffering and pain. A suture needs one who is highly trained, has the skills and techniques to do it right, so you go to a professional.
Would you let just anyone suture a wound or do you go to a medical professional?
Doesn’t this analogy relate to ethics training? Can just anyone do ethics training(Band aid) or do you partner with an expert, thought leader, etc. on ethics, one who has the training, the experience, and the skills to do the job of training?
Here’s the worst case scenario. You put a band aid on an artery problem. Now what?

Like you, business ethics and ethical leadership expert, Frank Bucaro has seen the challenges and problems of corporate leadership, particularly over the past few years in regards to poor decision-making, SEC violations, and record breaking financial settlements in a number of different industries.
With over two decades of executive training, speaking, writing and with real life experiences, his view and approach to ethics in the workplace is uniquely different. He emphasizes that ethics is a moment-to-moment choice and has little to do with position, titles, personalities or education. Ethics is everybody’s responsibility from the top down.
His goal is to help organizations to:
a. Strengthen their ethics training initiatives in order to significantly decrease the odds of an ethical/compliance violation.
b. Energize, train and motivate employees to understand the value of consistent “high road” behavior as a business advantage.
c. Support individuals and thereby the organization by contributing to its success by quality, ongoing values based leadership development.
Frank is known for his very practical, slightly irreverent, yet somewhat humorous approach to ethics and leadership development. His conversational style and real life stories connect with his audience in a personal, intense and practical level.
Companies such as Bayer Healthcare, BP, ReMax International, EnMax Energy, Danone, etc. have partnered with Frank when they want to proactively stress the message, tools, insights and practical applications that good ethics IS good for business!
