Ethical decision making is paramount to success.  Having all stakeholders able to identify the highest right for their organization is every leader’s wish.  But what good is determining the most ethical response to a situation if no action is taken?  Successfully navigating the trappings of ethics and compliance take more than good moral bearings, it takes the moral courage to follow through when doing the right thing isn’t easy.
On Tuesday, Septmber 15, 2009, the Institute for Global Ethics will be presenting a Moral Courage™ Seminar in Memphis, T.N., USA.  This event will be held at the Assisi Foundation of Memphis, Inc., located at 515 Erin Drive, Memphis, TN 38117, and will run from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  Facilitated by Institute founder, Rushworth M. Kidder, this seminar is an interactive, small-group immersion course, based on Dr. Kidder's latest book, Moral Courage.  The course helps participants understand the importance of moral courage in 21st-century culture, identify it and define its elements, put it into practice, and help others recognize and embody it.
