BUSINESS ETHICS INSIGHT: Good ethics is not simply a risk-management strategy

See article at http://goo.gl/EDyqaC  There are major differences between organizations with a compliance culture and those with an authentic values-based ethical culture.  Establishing a sustainable, high performance values-based culture requires sincere commitment based on the conviction that it is worthwhile, not because it will produce better results and higher morale (which it will) but because it is simply the better way to be.  An organization that truly wants to be good will be excellent. Good ethics is not simply a risk-management strategy (though it is an effective one), it is the only foundation that can sustain a good life or a great company.
