Why do good people sometimes make bad ethical decisions?
What role does management play?
How do you create an “ethics program” which integrates ethics and leadership?
What are the similarities of an “ethical culture” and a “safety culture”?
How do you talk about ethics in a way that touches people who genuinely believe they are already ethical?

I have wrestled with these questions for a number of years.

  • 15 years experience as Ethics Director creating and managing a sector Ethics program at Northrop Grumman, a Fortune 100 Defense Contractor.
  • An approach which resonates at all levels amongst diverse groups, e.g. corporate management and executives, military leaders and pilots, college administrators, lawyers, auditors, civic groups  
  • A message that includes family as part of the ethical decision making process: “Am I proud to tell my family what I did today?”
  • A message that inspires: The integration of ethics, priorities and courage based in part on my personal experience surviving an aircraft accident as a Marine Corps pilot
