Enron changed nothing

In the breeding grounds of executive crime, greed still rules. The only lesson corporate America has learned is how to blame everybody else.

    Darn those evil corporate people, anyway!

    Having been a management consultant for sixteen years, and working with executives most of the past ten, I have seen the occasional person I wouldn't trust, but I have to say that the vast majority of people I work with are hardworking and honest. In fact, we've empirical cause to believe that outstanding leaders demonstrate both integrity and the ability to take responsibility for the performance of their organizations.

    I would heartily agree that there are poor leaders, who want to blame "them," and I also agree that SarBox is an attempt to legislate morality that is bound to have problems, but the article might have been more convincing, or at least less annoying to me, had Mr. Weiss not chosen to tar all of corporate America with the same brush of unadulterated evil. So far as I can see, not all of Corporate America is required to belong to the Church of Satan, or even the Church of Mammon.
