Signing Off on Ethics: The thing about writing an ethics blog is that I can't tell people what's right and what's wrong. They made up their minds about that long ago. The gray area is that people have their own, very different definitions, of what is wrong. So the best thing I can do...; Tags: William Baker, Ethics, Perfection, Business Ethics, Leadership, Management; Blog posts 2008-06-20
Lessons of an Ethics Writer: A year-and-a-half ago, when I was asked to write this ethics blog, I wrote out a short introductory post. So today, my last day writing this blog, I took a quick look at it.

The World's Most Ethical Companies: What does it mean to be named to Ethisphere's list of the World's Most Ethical Companies?

They're doing...; Tags: Leadership, William Baker, Management, Ethics, Business Ethics; Blog posts 2008-06-11
Market Your Ethics: Ethics has never been more important in business because people have never been more conscious of the ethics involved in the companies they buy from, invest in, or do business with. From socially-conscious investing, to assessing the environmental impact of goods and services, to the political bent...; Tags: Fair Trade, U.K., Ethics, Cafedirect, Business Ethics, Leadership, Management, William Baker; Blog posts 2008-06-05
The Ethical Mind: A Challenge in Business?: Is it more difficult for businesspeople to adhere to an ethical mind than for those in other professions?

Whole Foods Chief Defends His Ethics: John Mackey had a bad 2007, but he's bouncing back in 2008 and the Whole Foods chief is finally talking about "rahodeb," the Internet alter-ego he used to leave scathing chatroom remarks about competitor Wild Oats just as he was angling to buy them. I imagine Mackey has been itching...; Tags: First Amendment, Whole Foods, Ethics, CEO, John Mackey, Business Ethics, Food & Beverage, Leadership, Management, Manufacturing, William Baker; Blog posts 2008-05-21
Ethics Without Consequences: "The measure of a man's character is defined by what he will do when he knows he will not be held accountable for his actions." It tough to say anything about this quote, really. It's quite perfect. Ethics doesn't end at the line of enforcement. Just because...; Tags: Movie, Ethics, Business Ethics, Leadership, Management, William Baker; Blog posts 2008-05-19
Ethics on a Deadline: Poll: Lorne Michaels, the executive producer of "Saturday Night Live," likes to say that the show doesn't go on because it's ready. It goes on because it's 11:30. Yesterday, I blogged about how ethics is often just a willingness to say no. But does that change on a...; Tags: William Baker, Management, Leadership, Ethics, Business Ethics, Deadline; Blog posts 2008-05-16
The Ethics of Saying No: Corporations do not make ethical mistakes. Individuals make ethical mistakes. Most of the time, that's because they're afraid of saying no. The reason so many people find it hard to say no is that it is hard to say no. A client says something inappropriate; a co-worker...; Tags: Mistake, Ethics, Indictment, Business Ethics, Leadership, Management, William Baker; Blog posts 2008-05-15
Such Is The Importance of Ethics: When we're talking about establishing an ethical business culture, the small things matter. Yet, too often, we let the small things slide, we turn the other way, we don't make it our business. Here's a comment from a reader that addresses how the small things -- the...; Tags: Ethics, Business Ethics, Leadership, Management, William Baker; Blog posts 2008-05-14
Performance-Enhancing Drugs at Work: An Ethics Poll: Is the asterisk coming to the business world? The use of performance-enhancing drugs has clogged up the sports world for the last couple of years, but steroid and human growth hormone are not the only way to get a chemical advantage.

Ethics Management Myths: Learning from Them: Many ethical decisions are analyzed in reverse. Choosing what is right is often just an analysis of everything you know to be wrong. But when we're talking about trying to manage those ethics, to attempt the huge challenge of getting a large group of people to behave accordingly, what do...; Tags: William Baker, Management, Leadership, Ethics, Business Ethics; Blog posts 2008-05-06
Racist Remarks from a Client: Confront or Ignore?: A recent blog post over in BNET1 about how job candidate interviewees are flunking etiquette 101 - answering cell phones, bringing children along, using profanity - was, shall we say, humorously disturbing. But this bad behavior has a simple solution: don't hire the person. But poor etiquette...; Tags: Workforce Management, Recruitment & Selection, Business Ethics, Client, Ethics, Management, William Baker, Leadership, Human Resources; Blog posts 2008-05-02
Poll: Local Ethics in a Global Business World: Are ethics absolute, or are they dictated by the context of the society in which the actions take place?

Oregon's Ethics War: Name all of your adult relatives. On the record. Publicly. Would you be willing to do this to keep your job?

And, so far, at least 150 of the state's 5,000 public...; Tags: Official, Ethics, William Baker, Management, Leadership, Business Ethics, Oregon; Blog posts 2008-04-29
Poll: Reporting Fudged Credentials?: Today's poll deals with something most everyone will face at some point in their career: whether to report a colleague after you come across some damaging information about their history.

"Lose Your Ethics, Lose Your Business": Check out this wonderfully scathing missive from Joe Scarlett, the former CEO of Tractor Supply, on how an ethical lapse led to the biggest beef recall in history, and the destruction of a company, Westland/Hallmark Meat.

Ethics Commission Gets Serious About Ethics: If the above headline sounds like something you might read in The Onion, that's because this story, out of Nashville, sounds like an Onion plotline. Two years ago, in the wake of a corruption scandal that sent five lawmakers to jail, Tennessee created a state ethics commission...; Tags: Management, Leadership, Business Ethics, Ethics Commission, Ethics, William Baker; Blog posts 2008-04-21
Poll: The Right Thing for the Wrong Reason?: The last two days have drawn some spirited comments and emails about the issue of whether buying a Toyota Prius as a status-symbol, rather than an eco-friendly mode of transport, is right or wrong.

Green Ethics: Yesterday, I wrote a post about how Toyota Prius buyers were accused of being liars because many bought their vehicle not for the hybrid's eco-friendliness, but because it announced their own eco-friendliness. And let me say again that I'll take a hybrid any way I can get it. If they...; Tags: Survey, Ethics, Toyota Prius, Business Ethics, Marketing Research, Benefits, Leadership, Management, Marketing, Human Resources, William Baker, Statement; Blog posts 2008-04-09
