This unique presentation will show you exactly how to do this. The secret to creating trust with clients is to be accountable for what you say and what you do. Accountable people do four things consistently:

2. They consider the consequences of their actions.
3. They take responsibility for their mistakes.
4. They correct their mistakes and do their level best not to repeat them.
You will hear true, inspiring stories of the great things that can happen when leaders do these things. You’ll also learn about the dire consequences of not doing them.
This is a presentation on ethics and leadership that feels more like a business strategy session.

Jane has a terrible work ethic. You’ve talked with her several times, but the problem continues. Last month you fired another employee who slacked off on the job, but Jane is the daughter of a friend of yours. Would you fire Jane? Give her one more chance? Talk with your friend?

We often find ourselves asking, “What’s the right thing to do in this situation?,” but when the stakes are high, our emotions can get in the way of thinking clearly and making the best choices.
The principles that help you make the right decisions at work are the same principles that apply in your personal life, too-and they also form the basis of your organization’s code of conduct for employees.
These principles, the principles of ethical intelligence, are derived from a classic text by Beauchamp and Childress, and they are:
1. Do No Harm
2. Make Things Better
3. Respect Others
4. Be Fair
5. Care
Dr. Weinstein begins this fun and highly interactive presentation with a quiz tailored to the needs of employees and managers. He then presents the five principles of ethical intelligence, shows how to apply these principles in daily life, and concludes with a powerful call to action.
