Ethics Madness II – A dandy excuse to talk ethics and watch hoop
I greet the college basketball championships this year with mixed emotions. As a hoop fan, this is a highlight of the calendar. As an ethics and compliance professional considering the current pay-for-recruitment scandal at several leading schools, well, what a mess. But from both perspectives, Tom Fox and I have decided to mark the beginning […]

More About Our Live-Blog: “Ethics and the Oscars”
What’s this live blog all about? Our focus tonight, as we watch the OSCARs, is on the little messages in the speeches, the commentary, on the carpet, and in the commercials – those little messages that can reinforce or dismantle an ethical culture. There are theaters full of other, more learned critics of the movies. […]
The Oscars, and The Sting Rule of Ethical Leadership
Will the billion-plus viewers of the Oscars this year hear messages that promote a culture of ethics, or erode it? My compliance chum Amy Hutchens and I, and others we hope, are planning to have some fun with that question as we “Live Blog” during the Oscars telecast tomorrow (Sunday, February 22). You can follow […]
On Learning Objectives and Duct Tape
The other night, I watched a group of Boy Scouts plan a skit. Their Patrol had the assignment of teaching the rest of the Troop how you could make first aid supplies out of duct tape. They had the idea of doing a funny little show about a Scout falling out of an apple tree, […]
Compliance, groundskeepers, and chalk lines
This Friday night, my son’s “Babe Ruth Prep” baseball team had its first game of the Fall Ball season. So I found myself, under a clear sky, raking the infield dirt and laying down chalk for the foul lines and the batter’s box. And I had a thought: “Even here, even now, I’m leading compliance!” […]
