Rich Dad Advisor Blair Singer Releases New Book About 'The Code of Honor'
ROCKVILLE, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 19, 2004--With scandals rocking America's corporations on a daily basis, earning consumer and shareholder confidence is tougher than ever.
The latest Rich Dad Advisor book, "The ABC's of Building a Business Team That Wins," by nationally-known author and speaker Blair Singer (www.salesdogs.com) asserts that a Code of Honor is essential to a company's success.
A Code of Honor is a set of simple, powerful rules that govern the internal behaviors of any team, organization, family, individual and even a nation, Singer says. "These rules determine how individuals behave toward one another within the team. They are what people are willing to stand for, defend and be accountable for."
"Your reputation, your income and your longevity depend upon your consistency of behavior internally and externally," Singer says. "How you conduct your business may leave a bigger impact than the service you provide."
The 138-page paperback is a valuable resource for executives who want to create a team that shares a collective vision, and one that is less likely to fall prey to human failings such as greed. The book is scheduled for release in September.
"In the absence of rules, people make up their own," Singer says. "Some of the biggest collisions in finance, business and relationships are because well-meaning people are simply playing by different sets of rules," as evidenced by the downfall of Enron and Worldcom executives, Martha Stewart and other high-profile figures.
"By the same token, the most miraculous results come from like-minded folks who band together under some invisible bond to achieve greatness," such as the New York City firefighters who risked their lives to rescue occupants in the World Trade Center and relief workers who keep going into embattled countries, delivering medicine and food to malnourished children.
Can a Code of Honor stop executives from padding the books, insider trading or extorting millions? Singer asserts that in times of pressure, when the stakes are high, one of two things will happen; People will be transformed to greatness or they will revert to instinctive behaviors, which may not be in the best interests of others. That is why the code is so critical. Comparing a business to a cross-country meet, Singer says that every person, every second, every step counts toward a win for the team and it binds them together. They know that the success of the team take precedence over individual goals.
