And now we hear about zero tolerance for unethical behavior. It now seems as though the pendulum is swinging strongly in the direction of zero tolerance for unethical behavior based upon the reactions to ethics misconduct cases across the corporate landscape.
Good business leaders have ethics, character and integrity. To lead and operate an ethical organization, you have to create an environment for your people that allows them to operate in an ethical manner.

Tip #1: Create and adopt a formal written Company Code of Ethics for your business and distribute a copy to all employees.
Tip #2: Create and implement a formal system for reviewing, updating and enforcing the Company Code of Ethics.
Tip #3: Communicate the Company Code of Ethics and provide orientation and training for all employees.
Tip #4: Commit to ongoing training and reinforcement of ethical behavior and require employees to take refresher ethics course.
Tip #5: Lead by example and “walk the talk” of following the adopted Company Code of Ethics.
Tip #6: Reward ethical conduct.
Tip #7: Deal with unethical behavior swiftly, firmly and justly when it occurs. Everyone must be treated in the same fair and impartial manner.
Tip #8: Encourage all employees to take responsibility for their behavior and maintain a strong personal code of ethics.
Tip #9: Appoint an ombudsman or other confidential channel for employees to voice their concerns or report unethical behavior in a confidential manner and without fear of retribution. Appoint a formal committee to consider ethical issues in accordance with the Company Code of Ethics.

Re: Business Coaching Resources
- You're fortunate when you can find a Business Coach who has experience beyond where you've been and even where you are going. When your budget is slim and even after, it's good to have a mentor. Several of various backgrounds are very useful. They can be teachers, professors, pastors, business people, family members, bosses and former bosses.
You have to be clear on what you want and what you desire to achieve, be able to convey it as simply as possible. Stop and listen and don't over tax their time.
You should always expect results whether from a Business Coach or Mentors. If you're not gtting results, you're either not focused or you need to upgrade the quality of your mentors/coaches. Always surround yourself by people smarter than you.
Business Tips
- How about:
Tips for managers to handle employees more effectively?
Tips on how to deal with difficult customers?
Tips on how to deal more effectively with suppliers?
The only three I have in mind right now, but will try to come up with something else.

Hi Again Ethical,
Thank you for your reply, I live in the UK and don’t have a product as such to sell like you but I am an Internet Marketer and owner of the ‘Work From Home Gems’ site below.
I specialise in finding and recommending different ways to make money on the internet as an affiliate. I very much enjoy working in this sector and hope to work full time from home in the future.
Don’t forget to set up your signature as recommended by GT above as this is a simple way to ad the URL of your website and this will show on every post you make,
best wishes,
Mal.
Re: Business Women Peer Mentoring Spotlight
- Hi Tami,
Have you reviewed other comparable sites and coaches? I think that you will find that they have positioned themselves a bit more 'out there', and they dont focus on cheap pricing as the key benefit.
I think your copy needs to be much tighter with a focus on the key features and BENEFITS that group coaching provides. Look at The Strategic Coach model etc. Your bio needs to be stronger if you are going to be pitching business development and leadership development.
Also, have you put together a strategy for list building and promotions? how many subscribers do you have currently. Local networking as well as grouping some of your existing clients into the first BETA group might help.
People dont like 'NEW" services because it comes off that they will be the guinea pigs.
Those are my initial thoughts for now. Hope it helps. I'll try and spend some more time reviewing over the weekend and get back to you!
