The Inexperience Myth • When I get to the top, I’ll be in control. • You know if I were in charge, we wouldn’t have done this? The good news is the desire to improve. The bad news without experience one overestimates the amount of control.
The Freedom Myth • When I get to the top, I’ll no longer be limited. • Customers can do anything they want; workers have more obligations; leaders have even more obligations.
The Potential Myth • I can’t reach my potential if I’m not the top leader. • Strive for the top of your game no matter what position.

What is Ethics? • Discipline that deals with good and bad with moral duty and obligation
The fast pace of……. • Constant competition • Global awareness • Diversification • All have caused blurring of what right and wrong is. • There seems to be shades of gray instead of black and white.
Legal vs. ethical issues • Legal issues are like codes of conduct and conformed to the law. Breaking codes means punishment. • Ethical issues may relate to legal, but not always. Sense of profit outdistances the sense of right.
The best solution is…. • Develop standards of conduct • Think of problems that may arise and address them in written format in your business plan. • Have them part of your employee contract
Misconception…. • That a business can’t be successful without condoning unethical practices. • This is not true • Individuals opt for fair treatment, fair products, and fair price.
Key to ethics…. • Awareness • Don’t refuse to think or act because you feel ethics are too personal. • Be willing to set actions and steps for you and others. • Develop a written code so there are no misunderstandings of right and wrong.
