Don’t Gawk – Look Inside Yourself

We often see big leaders in business make morally wrong decisions and make front page news.  Sometimes we think to ourselves: “What a bad person! I would never do that!”  But the truth is that good people with good intentions have the potential to make bad decisions.  I am one of those people...
“You just have to snap out of it!” Carla Heesch said, “You men, have your buddies, and you just want to be tight with them and not let them down.  But when ethical decisions are at hand, you just have to snap out of it, and do what’s right.” I see myself as a good person, with good intentions, but as I reflected on Carla’s words, I could see within myself the potential to make a very poor ethical decisions if I didn’t manage to “snap out of it” as she directed.  Rather than gawking with disgust when we hear stories of unethical decisions made in business, we should practice humility; we should look inside ourselves and honestly evaluate how we can avoid making similar bad choices.
