Ethics

At The Tahoe Retreat the speaker, Al Erisman, talked on bringing your faith to work and Ethnics. He did an excellent job and I enjoyed getting to know him and his wife, Nancy; they were fun people.

During one of the sessions he handed out a list titled:

Ten Practices of Ethical Business Leaders

1. Each person matters. Give attention to each person as an individual.

2. Don't objectify people. Give each person room to grow and change.

3. Call each person by name, with respect.

4. Demonstrate commitment to good work and good rest.

5. Honor the families represented by those that work for you.

6. Provide a safe working environment.

7. Keep your promises.

8. Be fair and just in financial matters.

9. Be open and honest in all communication.

10. Avoid the temptation to take credit for the work of others.

He then told us that these were taken directly from the Ten Commandments.
