Ethics in Business - Part Two of an Interview with Dov Seidman

Is ethics training just as important for working professionals? How can working professionals make better decisions on a daily basis?

Yes. Think about great athletes. They practice thousands of hours to ensure that in the crucial moment, when the heat is on, they make the right play, catch or basket. I believe we, along with our leaders and institutions, need to apply this same discipline. We need to go to the ethical gym. We need to test and flex our ethical muscles and develop into ethical athletes so that under pressure, we do the right thing even if it's inconvenient or unpopular.

LRN offers one of the largest ethics libraries in the industry, with more than 500 courses in 48 languages. Can you tell us a little bit more about these courses?

Our education offerings inspire a higher standard of behavior, resulting in not only compliance with the law but also a sustainable business advantage. Our education programs address the spectrum of learning needs through online and offline education that includes live forums, facilitated workshops and creative learning experiences - multiple approaches to reach, engage and educate a global workforce, no matter where they are in the world. Our education offering includes the industry's most comprehensive online ethics and compliance library, with more than 500 courses covering thousands of topics and hundreds of risk areas. These courses range in topic areas, from how to outbehave and outgreen the competition, to how to write thoughtful emails, to inspiring ethical leadership, to preventing workplace harassment, recognizing conflicts of interest, ensuring data privacy and protection, ensuring financial integrity, among other topics and risk areas.

Does LRN provide any other resources for students and working professionals?

As a business LRN is helping business leaders and organizations find advantage and a new approach to winning by inspiring values-based behaviors and organizational culture. We are helping companies and their leaders build enduring legacies by utilizing principles as the foundation to how they do what they do. In the process, they're finding they are earning reputation, engendering trust in key relationships, growing customer loyalty, increasing employee engagement and winning by outbehaving the competition. All of this is the surest path for sustainable differentiation in the 21st century. When I wrote my book, HOW: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything in Business (and in Life), I knew I wasn't finished exploring these ideas. That's why I started an ongoing dialogue on how we can collectively find ways to transform the reality of business and life today into a sustainable advantage at HOW Online. I hope your readers will visit us and have something to add to the conversation as we all attempt to navigate the uncharted, hyper-connected territory in which we find ourselves.
