Concord – On Thursday January 12, 2012, join ethicist Jim Lichtman for a Q & A discussion on ethics and his recent book, What Do You Stand For? This free event will be held in NHTI's Library Living Room at 7:00 pm.
Over the past year, we have seen a steady breakdown of trust and confidence in both institutions and individuals as the result of a variety of ethics scandals. How did we get in this mess? How do we restore trust in our leaders and our institutions? More importantly, how do we get back America's integrity?
In his book, Lichtman details six core ethical values along with stories told by people who have done it right, including former Secret Service Director Lewis Merletti, former Johnson & Johnson CEO James Burke, as well as people who would call themselves "ordinary" citizens. All provide insight and inspiration to encourage each of us to live up to our highest aspirations.
Jim Lichtman has been writing and speaking on ethics for ten years. Feature stories and appearances include USA TODAY, the Weekend Today Show in New York, National Public Radio's Weekend Edition, CNN's NewsNight with Aaron Brown, and New York-1. Jim's commentaries have appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Chicago Tribune, and New York Times.
