I was reading an article on AccountingWeb earlier and happened to catch sight of an advertisement that offered a 2-day course at the London Business School on "Managing the Board of Directors".
The tag line was "Doing the right thing to keep the Board doing the right thing".
Now I always thought that "doing the right thing" could be summed up in two words: Be Honest. That's honest with your staff, your customers, and your shareholders, in fact, with everyone.
I would say it's impossible to train people to be honest in 2 days.
It'll either take no time at all (for someone who already follows this way of doing business) or it'll take a whole lifetime to learn.
Well said. Honesty is the best USP!
ReplyDeleteThanks Glen.
ReplyDeleteIt's a sad indictment that it's a USP rather than an ESP (Everyone's Selling Point).
