Where does this message resonate?
Corporate Training
Professionals know that ethical choices have to be made – and know how hard it can be to make the right one. Randy’s story reminds them of what can go wrong when you choose expedience over ethics.
All-Hands Meetings
Adding a powerful message on ethical behavior will make your next All-Hands meeting more than just a presentation of charts and graphs – it will help keep your team on the right ethical path.
Academic Settings
The ideal audience for a powerful message on business ethics – students that haven’t had to make that difficult choice yet – but will.
Segments from “Ethical Bankruptcy”
Randy’s lecture put the audience in a difficult, real-world situation. What do you do when the ethical path is self-destructive? Why is so hard to be ethical, when doing the expedient thing seems right?
How do you transform a dog into a duck? You game the system, that’s how. This is an actual example, used by an Enron accountant, to explain what they wanted to do.
