Ethical Organizations Must Retain a Sense of Humor
No doubt about it. ethical issues in business are serious. But Ethics Crisis blog will mix the heavy and the light in discussing corporate ethics issues, for as Dr Simon Longstaff, Executive Director at St James Ethics Centre notes:
"Although the consequences of unethical conduct can be deadly serious, I suspect that the first step to creating an ethical organisation is to approach the task with a "light tough" [sic]. For a start, we need to learn not to take ourselves so seriously. We are, in many respects, delightfully ridiculous creatures. What often saves us from crossing the line and becoming dangerously ridiculous is our latent capacity to laugh at ourselves; to find humour in our worst moments of folly."
