Dr. Passes Presents... Manhasset's Best Resource Is Its People: It's Always Ethics
(Manhasset, NY, December 18, 2008)
Everyone should have a board of directors in their life. These are people whom you go to for advice and direction. It
has been my good fortune to have Manhasset resident, Hank Boerner, as one of my mentors. Recently, he was a guest on my show.
We discussed the concept of ethics in the marketplace. This show was taped before the great stock market collpase. Hank's discussion
and warnings were very prophetic. Now, most of us know the difference between right and wrong. If that premise is true, then why did
this financial catastrophe happen? How did inflated self-interest play a role on this stage of greed with negelected oversight?
Hank Boerner has been "fixing" corporations for many decades. He has assisted some of the most inetresting people in the business and government.
