The
landscape of modern business has been blemished by a path of
unethical actions. In the wake of the megalithic likes of
Tyco, Enron and WorldCom lay the emaciated 401(k) plans of
dedicated employees. Real people lost jobs, lost retirements
and lost faith.
And
that kind of corporate misbehavior keeps Jack Bowman up at night.
A
noted authority on ethics and the corporate world, his expertise
in the culmination of nearly 40 years of consulting and teaching.
Jack has given his thought-provoking presentations to top
executives across the nation, including the managers of AT&T
and Anheuser-Busch.
Jack
is the author of several articles and books and has been quoted
extensively in the press, including The Wall Street Journal. He is also a columnist for The State Journal.
Jack has two talks that he gives on
business ethics: Good
Ethics Is Good Business (for managers and large, diverse
audiences) and Riding the
Whirlwind (for Boards of Directors).
Good
Ethics Is Good Business
In this stirring talk, Jack defines
the often-misunderstood concept of “business ethics.” Jack makes this indefinite, troublesome concept concrete,
teaching how to tie ethics with managerial decision-making.
Good Ethics Is Good Business, peppered with recent
real-world examples of the ethical and the not so ethical,
provides managers with a guide for navigating sticky situations.
Jack's "Good Ethics Is Good Business" presentation
can take one of two forms:
|
1. |
How to Set Your Company’s Moral Compass, A
Workshop: Jack establishes why a code of ethics is
indispensable and then guides participants through the
development of their own industry-specific codes.
He discusses effective implementation strategies,
explaining how to integrate the code throughout the
company. |
|
2. |
A Keynote Address or After Dinner Talk: Jack
delivers a rousing speech on how to curb the negative
import of past corporate scandals and discusses how to
prevent future scandals. He explains how to regain
the confidence of business-leery customers and answers why business leaders
should be held accountable for their companies’ actions. |
