The Right Things to Do. . .

Why do we do things?

We honor diversity because it is at the very core of our being.   We are all different.  We all think differently, act differently. . . we have varying cultural experiences. . .we look at life through different lenses.   These differences are the super cement by which we build a better world.  And. . .oh by the way. . .if we truly honor diversity our business will be better.

We take time to talk with people to build bridges.  Through communication we learn - both the good things and the not-so-good things.   We establish both professional and personal relationships that are mutually enriching.    And. . .oh by the way. . .if we take time with people our business will be better.

We are concerned about the environment because it sustains us - it allows us to live and thrive.    If we deplete it, our sustenance is gone.    And. . .oh by the way. . .environmentalism is good business.

Communities are at the forefront of our thought process.    We are communities - we are the composites that comprise villages. To neglect our community is self-neglect as well as the neglect of others.  And. . .oh by the way. . .community support is good for business.

The world community is at the forefront of our thought process because it is the reality of today.  Integration throughout the globe is not only key to leadership but integral to a stronger understanding of what it means to truly succeed.   And it is good business.

And we are progressive because that is the very nature of life.   Rivers move onward, land masses change. . .and so must we.  Adaptability combined with a strong vision of a peaceful future is key to our survival. . .in life and in business.

I think about these things often;   as referenced above, these things are often talked about just in terms of building a better business.   And it is true.  Diversity, relationships, environmental and community support, an understanding of not only a global economy but of a global integration. . .all of these things are good for business.

But first and foremost, we must remember this - we do these things because they are the right things to do.
