Frank Bucaro Speaking Topics

  • If Good Ethics is Good Business, Then What’s the Problem?

    It seems that media reports of companies being fined, or accusations of unethical or illegal behavior, are just about a daily feature in news reports. We may even find ourselves asking “how” and “why” this could still be happening with so many organizations focusing on “doing the right thing” and touting a strong ethical culture.

    Most folks would agree that solid ethical business practices are desirable, good and necessary for business. This program will explore the five challenges that threaten the reputation of an organization, and will present solutions to keep the focus on solid values and staying on the ethical high road.

    The “problem” and solutions will focus on:

    1. Compliance and Ethics Confusion.
    2. The lack of Moral Awareness.
    3. “Shades of Gray” ethical thinking.
    4. The Death of Bland Training.
    5. The Leadership Quagmire.

  • The Trust Puzzle: How to Keep Your Company on the Ethical High Road

    What does it mean to be good company for investors, associates, customers, and employees? Like a valuable friendship, it is the organization that people want to associate with, the organization that is successful and strong to the core. Many businesses today are vulnerable to illegal and unethical activities at every organizational level. This humorous and sometimes irreverent presentation will focus on five key areas that illustrate that doing the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason is not only wise, it is profitable!

    Five key areas that will be covered:

    1. Reputation— the importance of building and keeping a great reputation.

    2. Trust and Loyalty – the basis for rewarding relationships, but easy to take for granted, and much tougher to regain.

    3. Having a Moral Compass – In which direction are you headed? – Based on what? – Is that where you want to go?

    4. Accountable Leadership – Not just responsible leadership— but accountable to those you serve.

    5. Stewardship – What we do after we say we believe in the mission statement, the code of conduct, the values statement.
