Have business leaders lost their core values?
With revenues falling, unemployment rising and pressure on increasing the bottom line ever-present, leaders are under greater pressure than ever to get results.
From Madoff and the alleged Ponzi scheme based in Calgary to massive bank bailouts followed by huge executive bonuses, business leaders have lost sight of their values in favour of the bottom line.
In the new book Be Great: The Five Foundations of an Extraordinary Life in Business - and Beyond (Wiley; Cloth; October 2009; $26.95) entrepreneur Peter H. Thomas shares his business experiences to show readers what it means to be successful in business without compromising your values.
As the founder and developer of Century 21 Canada and the developer of several billion dollars of real estate projects in North America, Thomas understands the challenges of succeeding in business without compromising what you stand for.
Thomas can talk about:
- Do values still have a place in the boardroom? How to manage without hurting the bottom line;
- What happens when values are put aside for greed – the public outcries over misspent public funds (as with the firing of the entire OLG board);
- Leading through tough times: Thomas has gone through an exceptional financial crisis and the tragic loss of a family member, both of which challenged and clarified his values.
In Be Great, Thomas shows that we have choices: we can live by our values and incorporate them into our business life or we can abandon them in our chase to the top. Employing and standing up for your values is the difference between an effective leader and a follower. It is a true measure of achievement.
