While you may not want copies of Roger Steare's Ethicability and new companion booklet How to do what's RIGHT right on your capital markets desk, keeping both on a discreet shelf is a good thing.
The books call for action: Become able to make ethical choices, we'll show you how. What follows is a step-by-step leading us through the consequences of our own choices.
Both books are neatly arranged, at times a tad too neat: the premise for How to do what's RIGHT builds on ideas laid out in Ethicability, and maybe it's because of all the abstract nouns (RIGHT is an acronym for Rules-Integrity-Good-Harm-Truth) but you can't help but get a whiff of Uni dissertation in the nostrils.
Steare holds it all together, however, with liberal use of quotes, jokes and examples from the financial services world to lighten the load of always doing the right thing, um, always. Hey, he seems to say, if you're trying you're half way there.
Both books come with handy wallet-sized laminated cards to prod your posterior to righteous perfection. Just as reminders, mind, as most of us know right from wrong when on a client call or scratching through pitchbook stats. But it wouldn't hurt to keep Steare's titles just visible out of the corner of your eye at times like these, now would it?
Your employer likely agrees as Steare counts several financial services firms in the City as clients for his ethicability services. No more rogue trader fines, please, right? R-I-G-H-T.
