I'm trying to get my mind around the breakdown of ethics in leadership and how all we do is throw concepts, words and philosophy at it. I'm wresting with how to get to the heart and see radical change. I'm tired of everyone just talking about it. Read the news any day and you can see that it isn't working with our leaders.
I'm about to have coffee with friend who is the head of a multinational IT firm. While we sip our coffee and plan for a meeting in Manila tomorrow I'll layout my thoughts and questions with him. I'm looking forward to his insight, definition and strategy for developing truly ethical leadership. I hope to continue learning and connecting with others so that we can see change happen.

Here is an ethical action test for 'rightness' before implementation:
1. Is it legal?
2. Does it comply with my/our rules and guidelines?
3. Is it in sync with my personal and our organizational values?
4. Will I be comfortable and guilt-free if I do it?
5. Does it match my commitments and promised guarantees?
6. Would I do it to my family or friends?
7. Would I be perfectly okay with someone doing it to me?
8. Would the most ethical person I know do it?
