Towards the Ethical Transformation of Corporate Culture
Hi,
Are you tired of the selfish, soulless, cutthroat nature of American business?
Do you despise the Darwinian, "dog eat dog" aspect of corporate culture, that has gotten gradually worse over the past 30 years?
Do you feel that business might also play a role in the repair of our communities and environment, reversing its current toxic path of "profits over people" and ecological degradation?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, please consider joining the Ethical Business Society.
Through the power of dialogue, and sharing our stories, let's construct a healing counter narrative to the nihilistic trends in corporate culture. More than that, let's reach out into the public realm, raising consciousness for a kinder, more caring corporate world that might be; and exerting political pressure as we may.
Please explore our site on Meet Up, and feel free to become a member today.
My own background is in education, having taught English at Rutgers and CUNY, in addition to 3 rescue mission "interventions" at troubled ghetto schools in NYC; each time replacing the regular teacher who quit.
Now I see that our corporate world is hurting, as nihilistic, devoid of community, and "out of control" as any of the troubled schools I taught in.
Progressive projects of repair are badly needed in the corporate realm.
In my new profession as a real estate agent (sadly, teaching doesn't pay the bills!), I seek to channel the ethical energy, caring and integrity of my progressive teaching into a corporate culture in serious need of an "ethical makeover."
I hope you'll consider joining me.
John Bredin
