New Year's Resolutions for Corporations

As a former corporate executive, investor, and potential loyal customer, I have witnessed some unfortunate decisions, policies, and behavior norms within large, reputable businesses. Wouldn’t it be nice if more corporations would set higher standards by which they would operate? Here are some ideas for New Year’s resolutions that would generate admiration and loyalty in the heart of employees, customers, and investors: · We will unfailingly treat our employees with the respect and care that reflects our public statements about how important they are to the success of our company. · Our advertisements and marketing will be devoid of mean-spirited humor and demeaning sexual stereotypes. · Motivated, responsible, innovative managers will be consistently recognized and rewarded over those who spend energy posturing and positioning themselves politically. · Our working relationships with vendors and service providers will not only be respectful, but also productive, beneficial, and financially attractive for all parties. · We will always be open to new ideas that make our company, our products, and our work environment better. · Our collective energy will be consistently focused on things that truly matter, as clearly stated in our mission, values, and goals. Please comment and share your ideas for other Corporate New Year’s Resolutions.
