Character Matters…In Business And In Life..A Lot!!

Ok right at the outset some of you won’t like what I’m about to say.  But quite frankly I don’t really care…because its too important not to say….

    Character matters in business and in life…
it matters a lot!!

Day after day we’re bombarded with stories of …

–unscrupulous business practices
–unscrupulous political practices
-unscrupulous personal practices

“It Feels Like Life Itself Is Unraveling”

A colleague said something to me a while ago that has haunted me for months.   She was describing the general malaise she was feeling in her business and life and she described it as if

“life was unraveling…that nobody and nothing had any meaning anymore.”

Think on it…if none and nothing can be relied upon to be telling the truth, or to deliver value or to care about anyone other than gratifying themselves in the moment…..I guess life REALLY IS unraveling.

The  ‘Moral Bankruptcy’ of President of The United States

It’s ‘over the top’ bad when the President of the United States is being investigated or all manner of alleged misconduct including not one but SEVERAL encounters with prostitutes.

And what’s most mind boggling about the Presidential escapades is that the base of followers who support him ARE NOT PHASED ONE BIT!!!

The explanation is that ‘as long as the President supports the policies WE WANT, he can do whatever.”

Here’s The Part That Will Piss You Off…..

We can’t afford as a nation, a society to be so self serving and self concerned that we turn a blind eye to moral defective character….IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ACCEPTABLE.

So…the ‘take home’ message for business owners….

CHARACTER DOES MATTER….
for Every client
for Every customer
for Every vendor
for Every employee

For if what we do as business owners does not support the general improvement of our customers/clients/employees and ultimately society….we are doing fundamental injustice to the society and ultimately ourselves…and furthering the unraveling of the social and moral fabric of our society.

Now…I said it!!!

Tell me what YOU think!!
