Over the past 30 years, the "profits over people" crowd have gained ascendency in corporate America, giving business its worst reputation ever. Please join me in fighting back against this "greed is good" mentality (to quote Gordon Gekko) with a new, planet saving paradigm that unites making money with making the world a better place. I also welcome socially responsible artists and academics to be part of this new community in the making.
Ethical people inside the corporate space need to begin to find each other. Both at the water cooler in their own companies, and between professions so that green, crunchy, forward-thinking business people can help each other build and grow financially. Real Estate is my second profession, having taught college English over the past decade. Shocked by the shallowness and brutality of corporate America (compared to academia), I seek to infuse the humanistic values from my teaching life into a destructive corporate culture in need of healing and repair.
To help in these efforts, I formed the Ethical Business Society, which you’re welcome to join, and wrote a book called The Ethical Sales Agent: a Transformative Sales Pedagogy to Liberate Corporate Culture & Save America (2012), available for sale on Amazon. Meanwhile, if you have any thoughts on ethical business I might feature in my future writings, or an idea for my weekly TV show on culture & politics, Public Voice Salon, please let me know.
In closing, do you know of any ethical business leaders who I can recommend to my clients or give a shout out to on my book tour? Naturally, if you need an honest real estate agent in the NYC area to help you buy or sell property, I’d be happy to help.
