Psychic Code of Ethics

December 28th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Codes

Wikipedia defines a psychic” as  a person who professes an ability to perceive information hidden from the normal senses through extrasensory perception (ESP), or is said by others to have such abilities. …It can also denote an ability of the mind to influence the world physically and to the telekinetic powers allegedly professed by those such as Uri Geller.”

I have been avoiding psychics until now because I wondered about their professional ethics!!!It turns out that is no longer a problem as they have now  joined doctors lawyers engineers and others and have   written a code of ethics for their profession. See you at the psychic”s office!!!

In this  article Donna Boehme,  a friend of EthicScan,  and her colleague Joe Murphy , two internationally recognised compliance experts, were asked about the approach some competition authorities take to organizational  compliance. They note that  incentives currently posed by enforcement policy may actually discourage compliance and reflect fundamental misconceptions about the drivers of effective compliance within organizations.

Do you agree?What is your own experience?Can we discern differences depending upon what country we are working in?

Continuing with my theme of role models I found this story about Adolf Busch, the greatest German violinist of the 20th century who said no to Hitler when many of his contemporaries did not.
