Jane - excellent and unfortunately very timely article.

Your observations about the weak ethics currently being exercised by many in corporate and public circles are right on.  I would expect nothing less from your writing and I have never been disappointed.

Ira Chaleff (http://irachaleff.com/) has written several excellent books about all this, including "The Courageous Follower" and "Intelligent Disobedience", both of which go to the heart of the issue for many:  How do we stand up for what is right in a positive and potentially game-changing way?

I'm a bit detached from goings-on here at LCG these day (new career), but reading your article and the discussion between you and Mary (also an intelligent and courageous thinker) reminds me of why I need to visit regularly.
