Just posted on facebook on issue relating to the book “Leadership: Were Business Ethics Begin”

Awareness comes from both external and internal sources. One very major external source is our formal education obtained within the curriculum we successfully completed. If you did not study or received a degree in Business, your are at a significant disadvantage in business.

Business schooling helps teach you how to behave ethically and honorably  in a business transaction or situation on all levels. That is why I always counsel young people planning on going on to school to take basic business courses as part of their formal education.

NO matter what you study, you will find yourself dealing with business issues within the public or private sectors.

Steve Jobs was truly a creative powerhouse.  The why of that statement is what a whole spectrum of educators, consultants and business leaders are now trying to understand. The answer is very basic. Steve’s creativity and behavior was a result of having come to realizations that resulted in what I call 180-degree leadership vision. It is a function of the root causes that move us to create something of value within the human condition.

How does a person begin to increase the quality of life and effectiveness in their work or business environment? The answer is to begin to understand the root causes (or why) of your business, industry or environment from a new perspective or standard. An example of this can be found within the management hierarchy in chapter six; once the reader discerns from the hierarchy the areas that should be addressed within a company, he or she will see that each job or position in a company and business is a management position, requiring a stronger leadership perspective. From an ethical perspective, the book explains many root causes of what leads to creating an ethical environment, a critical responsibility of an organization’s leadership. This book has been written as a “how to” to help the person who wants to increase the quality of his or her life and effectiveness in his or her business environment, whether it is the business of creating something within the private sector or in the business of government. For that person working in and as part of the business community, it is the perfect gift!
