An organization I am a member of (EO) asked members to write about Business Ethics for an upcoming issue. It got me thinking about the importance and the definition of true ethics.

I love getting to know the real person in front of me. And when I interview, I like to dig deeper than the standard questions to find out who I am really talking to. Building on the Maslow series, I thought I would venture a little matrix bringing it all together. In each of the 16 combinations the matrix offers, what are my definitions, my objectives, my current situation, my expected results and my roadmap to getting there ? Sometimes, I come across stories that inspire me to be a better person, to excel and go beyond established limits. This story is from the Bible, from the book of Nehemiah. Yesterday, I received a wonderful email from a friend of mine, Chrystian. In it, he was wishing me a Happy Easter, knowing this holiday is of special significance to me. While researching a future project, I fell upon a (true) story I had vaguely known before, but that resonates more for me today. This version is written by Dr Neil Chadwick. One of the subjects I deal with daily is the increasing chasm between the baby-boomer generation and the students entering the workforce today. Much ink has been spilled on the subject and no clear solution has been brought forth. The debate goes far beyond the older generation saying 'they want everything without working for it' and the younger one saying 'they are doing things the old inefficient way'. Over the holidays, I was teasing my 18 year old sister-in-law about how she's not a normal teenager. Think of the stereotypical spoiled 18 year old depicted in the media and Nathalie is her polar opposite. I often coach entrepreneurs when they start their businesses and, in doing so, get to the core of 'why' they want to go out on their own. I love it when dreams of boatloads of money surface. A small article in the local paper helped me understand the necessary qualities for a great business coach. It's taken from Martine Deschamps from Syneraction Management |
