Author, Play Nice, Make Money. My book makes the case that an Ethical Business Model is the best path to profitability. We have added Ethics Speaking, and Seminars as well as Ethics Training to the services available through the Great Lakes Group.
My goal is to make those now leading our business sector aware of the value of the Ethical Business Model. And to reach out to those entering our world with the same message. The Ethical Business Model is the surest route to profitability. Those who do the right thing for all stakeholders; their employees, their customers, their vendors, the community, the environment, and their lenders and stockholders, will out preform those who buy into the dog-eat-dog mythology.
