How
to Decide "What's the Right Thing to Do?"
Joel uses his Shake That Brain! strategies to teach your group
to create more and better
alternatives — to find solutions that are both
good ethics AND smart business.
Participants learn to "Shake That
ETHICS Brain!" to discover winning solutions to a variety of
intriguing
hypothetical in this super-interactive program. Your group will learn that doing
the
right thing is not only a better way to do business, it's also more profitable.
The result? Better
compliance with your organization's Code of Ethics and
a stronger, more successful organization.
And
we'll show you to how to "spread the word" —so everyone knows,
"These are our rules."
Because having good rules isn't enough. What
you need to create is a corporate culture where
following the rules ... is
as natural as breathing.
Don't
have a Code of Ethics? We'll help you to create a code that's clear,
precise and user-
friendly.
Participants
Respond:
"Lots of applicable knowledge." "Without making
me feel uncomfortable (and without coming off as self-righteous
or condescending
or judgmental) Joel really forced me to stop and think about my behavior. I learned
something
about myself. (Plus it was fun.)" "This should be a core
course .. Invite him back again and again!"
Participants at Harley-Davidson
University, 2006
Your
creative framework for managing business ethics is exactly what I was looking
for. As a leader, I now
use your model with my clients to guide them through
their day-to-day ethical dilemmas. You were awesome
and informative!
A.
J. Zissler, Small Business Development Center
