I never had formal ethics training in the public or private schools I attended as a child..More and more, governments are proposing to introduce formal ethics training into their public school systems.This is a controversial step as this article shows and raises some critical issues for debate.Early this year the Quebec Provincial Government went to the Supreme Court to prevent members of a religious organization the right to opt out of the teaching of ethics in its school systems.

November 24th, 2010 by NSteinberg | No Comments | Filed in LeadershipI am back after a bout with a virus.It did slow me down somewhat It gave me an opportunity to read,meditate and do a considerable amount of reflection.I was struck with this article this morning .It is a narrative describing the role of ethics in shaping the lives of some of the most famous people in world history.People who are know for their good works.
That led me to thinking how many other “great” people there are out there who are silently or anonymously accomplishing greatness, that we do not know about.How much more we would be inspired just to know they live on our street or deliver our mail or our pizza?
I would encourage you to be on the lookout for them in your daily lives.Should you be fortunate enough to meet them please write and let us know.
