... academic dishonesty at their schools: the existence of an honor code. What the deans apparently overlooked, however, was that Enron too had a Code of Ethics. As we later learned from the Enron experience, without leaders with moral authority to insist on compliance, these Codes are not worth the paper they are written on. The question now was whether the deans had any more moral authority than those at Enron? Judging by the pervasive cheating of business students at schools with honors codes, it would appear that the deans did not. How did the deans attempt to communicate their passion and concern about academic ... odds, and despite overwhelming provocation by the government, Nelson Mandela presided over the peaceful transition of power to a black majority. Through his moral authority, he persuaded his angry followers against following the paths of retribution and vengeance. And, solely as a result of his inspirational leadership, apartheid was eliminated peacefully and constitutional rights were instituted that would protect all South Africans. As the world celebrated, lessons were learned of the extraordinary power of Nelson Mandela's moral authority and inspirational leadership. Against all odds, the business school deans were unable to inspire or even reach their captive audience. Their students ...

That's why, for me, the key task is to get as many people as possible to move global warming and the associated climate change into their Important and Urgent boxes. Individual action is important to gain moral authority but changing the basis of accountancy needs our politicians to act. And we don't even need all seven billion to do it. Action by the governments of US, EU, China, Japan, Russia, India, Brazil and Indonesia would solve 80% plus of the problem: that's just 8 leaders. When ...

This contemporary issue oftentimes gets more interesting but cynical than ever, for instance, when one exchanges views with folks in social circles about who in specific terms can the younger generation of Nigerians emulate as regards what ideals certain Nigerians in positions of leadership/authority actually epitomise.

Everyone is pointing their fingers at someone else for the many problems facing Nigeria today. In people's view, virtually everyone else is corrupt and ... has become of certain people they perhaps hitherto ignorantly held in high esteem until the scale fell from their eyes so soon.
