This is an entrepreneur's moral hot button because it exposes an entrepreneur's own personal ethic, one that defines the moral character and bedrock CHARACTER beliefs of his or her organization. Fundamental organization theory regarding any "power control center" will expose every time that a failure to bring ethics to the table at the start will inevitably assure an entrepreneur's and his or her organization's failure somewhere down the line. Want examples? How about those great entrepreneurial ventures known as Tyco, Global Crossing, and Enron not to mention the thousands of upon thousands of new enterprises that fail every year.

 

An entreprneur must establish a culture of character education and proactive ethics and integrity attitudes from top to bottom from the outset. This assures an organizationally life threatening future dilemma will be avoided. Otherwise, like the examples above, one may wake up one morning and find everything  worked for -- lost.
