High Performance With High Integrity
Do Good as You Do Well
Do good as you do well, is the core of the message that Ben Heineman will deliver. Our free-market system has a dark side. Under intense pressure to make the numbers, executives and employees face temptation to cut corners, fudge accounts, or worse. And in today's environment, such lapses can be catastrophic. Fines and settlements have amounted to billions of dollars. Careers and companies have imploded.
In the face of these challenges, Heineman arrives with a central message that is important, new, crystal clear, compelling and inspiring. His key points will be driven home by understandable examples. His recommendations are practical and actionable. The issues are enormously complex and there are very few Ben Heineman's around who can grasp them and clearly articulate how to approach them pragmatically.
Heineman, GE's chief legal officer and a member of both Jack Welch's and Jeff Immelt's senior management teams for nearly twenty years, will reveal crucial "performance with integrity" principles and practices that you can begin applying immediately, and will show you how you can drive performance by integrating integrity systems and processes deep into company operations.
He is currently a senior fellow at Harvard Law School and at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, and is the author of High Performance with High Integrity (Harvard Business Press, June, 2008).
