We believe that most individuals and their institutions want to do the right thing…for the right reasons.  This drive is innate, instinctive and intuitive for most individuals – and translates into the policies, practices and programs in the organizations, which they manage and direct. In other words, the organizational culture will reflect the desire to do the right thing for all of the stakeholders involved…or not.  (We include stakeholders of all kinds here; employees, shareowners, business partners, neighbors, customers and clients, and society-at-large.)
