What are the key attributes of ethical middle-market firms? Join us as Jim explores how personal ethics and ethical corporate culture come from good business practices that yield higher employee satisfaction and company profits.

Ethical Best Practices: Tone at the Top

“Employees observe what senior management does, and if the tone at the top is following ethical practices in all of the decision-making processes, employees will follow along behind that, and they will also make sound ethical decisions.”

Achieving Growth

“We have continued to make progress in growing our business successfully, and we see the key to this as being twofold: Putting the needs of teachers and students first, and then designing educational products that meet those needs. This sounds simple, but it’s not in practice.”

Mentoring Round

“When you’re coming up in your career, volunteer often for special projects because they will teach you a boatload as you advance in the company, whether they be in marketing, product development, or production. Volunteering for special projects gives you an opportunity to learn, to succeed, and to fail without failing catastrophically.”
