Ethics, Love and Mountains

I got to get this off of my chest - business ethics. Don't you wish everybody played fair? If the world was small like it is here in the mountains - where the butcher, the baker and candelstick maker actually are alive and well - we would all work together in harmony. Maybe small communities work out their problems being that they need to or economics will impact those that play fair with support and those that do not with little support.

Many business schools offer electives in business ethics and responsibilities but only in the last few years have these electives turned into a mandatory core course. It is amazing to me that schools have to teach our future leaders ethics - is this not something that we should have been taught from early childhood?

Tessa Clogs is based on family, faith and love. We will always believe that people deep down are kind and generous. We will never touch the line of questionable business ethics. We may have to close for an hour or two to ski with family on 6 inch plus powder days :-)

My reason for venting about business ethics is recent events that have happened in our small business world of clogs. We are sending out to those that have stepped on this ethics line, a brochure from a near by school with a course that will be mandatory (I guess I will not be able to force a class on anyone but maybe the clog buying public can) on business ethics. We will leave all of you hanging on this thread but also leave you with photo from time with the family and our love of the mountains.

Peace
