Cornerstone Institute of Ethics is making a significant push to go global in 2010.  We have been a regional company in the Southern California marketplace since inception of our ethics workbook “The 10”in 1996. 

     Now, with a single minded focus of Enhancing the Moral Character of People in Business, the Community and At Home, Cornerstone has set an aggressive schedule of 14 national and international trade conferences for ethics on its calendar.  Just click on “calendar” to review the locations and events we will be attending.

     The timing for the global push could not be better.  Now, more than ever, the need to review the standards for determination of moral character and behavior is greater than ever.  The number of politicians stepping down in light of character issues has not been greater in my lifetime that I can recall.  The number of fraudulent findings within the business arena is staggering and people are becoming less tolerant of corporate greed and excess at the expense of the employee and consumer.

     In the coming days, I will be sharing the thoughts and concerns of the workplaces and communities I work and live in as they relate to ethics and ethical behavior.  I truly believe we’ve reached a boiling point within the American society and the violators need to be exposed.  On the opposite side, organizations and individuals that demonstrate and hold to higher standards need to be recognized and commended for their actions as well.          

     If you have an organization or individual you would like to spotlight (both good and bad) feel free to email me.  Together, we can let the world know that unethical activity amounts to a short term gain with eventual collapse while holding to the higher standards and making the right choices at critical moments, creates a recipe for long term success.
