However, Tom has created a process that enables people to build ironclad discipline, and he is conducting a new workshop where people can register at discipline.impacttheory.com.
Making Ethical Decisions Under Pressure
Decisions under intense unprecedented levels of stress can be tricky, and it’s essential to make ethical decisions. Dr. Susan Liautaud is an Ethics Expert who advises global leaders and international businesses on how to develop strategic solutions to the complex ethical challenges they face. She discusses with Tom what an ethical framework is, whether Cancel Culture and massive division are ethical, and how people can live their lives well and make better ethical decisions.
Cancel Behavior, Not People
One notable insight that Dr. Liautaud shares is that instead of canceling people, we should cancel language and behavior. She explains that someone or something will be impacted by every decision that people make, and it’s crucial to practice deep listening to what people are saying to develop an ethical life.
Perfectionism is a Dead End Path
Dr. Liautaud emphasizes that perfectionism is a dead-end path that people should avoid. She shares the four pillars of ethics that people should practice immediately: accountability, transparency, honesty, and integrity. She quotes Thomas Sowell, who said, “There is no utopia, only trade-offs,” meaning that people can’t create a perfect life but can make ethical trade-offs.
Final Thoughts
Kyzen is an exciting tool that people can use to achieve great things in their lives. Tom is working hard to ensure that he delivers a powerful product that inspires people to take bold steps and make ethical decisions. In addition, Dr. Susan Liautaud’s insights provide a framework for living an ethical life and making ethical decisions in stressful times.
