I’ve been too busy with other Ideasphere Partners business lately to take the time and write another entry into my public blog, but this morning I was looking through my “Things I don’t like but have to do this week” list and noticed a pattern that made me want to scream, or at least vent in public. Almost all the things on the list have to deal with potential litigation stemming from differences in the definition, and lapses (at least in my maybe-not-so-humble opinion) in ethical business and personal behavior. Since, unfortunately, illegal and unethical are not always aligned, and ethical standards vary, there are always multiple views on what to do. Here are some situations from my current and some older lists arranged from worst to not-as-clear-as-I-may-think unethical behavior. Obviously I can’t share the specifics but, as always, I look forward to your e-mails on the subject.
