Moral codes guide us in knowing right from wrong, influencing the decisions we make and the way we interact with others. They form the foundation for building meaningful Relationships, trust, and accountability. But what should a good moral code entail, and why is it so crucial for personal and societal well-being? Our Experts in this area of the site explore these questions.
Having a set of moral principles benefits society by fostering trust and harmony. Moral codes remind us that our actions have consequences, encouraging behaviors that are respectful and responsible. At a personal level, a moral code strengthens self-discipline, helping us make choices that align with our beliefs and values. Our moral compass, shaped by significant historical events, is inclined towards principles of honesty, integrity, loyalty, and responsibility. A moral code is not just a set of rules but a guide to leading a fulfilling, ethical life. It’s a reflection of our values, helping us navigate challenges with integrity and purpose. Developing a personal moral code may be one of the most impactful choices we can make in our lives.

Shell Shocked: Moral Injury and the Leaders Carrying It

In this first of five episodes, host, Charlene Norman draws a distinction most leaders have never heard between moral injustice (the event that hits you) and moral injury (what it leaves behind). Drawing on three decades inside extractive industries, her own 2008 recession story, and research that emerged from the aftermath of the Vietnam War, she maps five ways moral injustice shows up in business and makes the case that naming what's actually happening is the first ste…

A mother tells her child that one “impure” thought could mean eternal fire and she claims she can read minds.

Peggy, author of *Surviving the Family Kingdom* and a psychotherapist, unpacks what it’s like when the cult leader is also your parent. Peggy walks us through the early chaos that made her mother vulnerable to extreme beliefs, the Pentecostal influence that normalized spiritual spectacl…

On the 10th. Anniversary of my mother’s death, I asked my kids to tell me what they remembered about their grandmother. One said she taught me how to swim underwater where I kept swimming between her legs. Another said she taught them how to learn to count and add when they constantly played cards together. Another said she cherished walking down the street to get the mail together which gave them time to discuss how both of their days were going. Now that I am her age, I often wonder how will my grandchildren remember me?
