What does being ethical mean to you in your personal life or professionally? Do you see things happening in your job that you protest or just ignore all together? How do you confront something unethical in your job without the risk of losing it? Truth be told, there are things happening in businesses that would be described as unethical. When presented with that, can you just stand there or would you do something about it? Maybe something inside of you calls you to take action.

Alexander Lowry is a professor of finance at Gordon College where he leads the school’s Master of Science in Financial Analysis program. He followed his calling to develop a program at Gordon College that teaches ethics in business. He’s a board member for fintech and financial services companies as well as host of the Boardroom Bound podcast, a show dedicated to developing the next generation directors.
