Michael Rion’s dynamic style, light-hearted humor, and ability to relate with audiences at all levels have won him acclaim throughout the country. A lively, engaging speaker, he uses real-life examples to bring management ethics to life with exceptional clarity and insight.

Dr. Rion is frequently in demand as a keynote speaker. He excels at illustrating how individual integrity and judgment interrelate with organizational values and policies to produce responsible decision making. His insightful analysis of organizational ethics explains how even well intentioned companies can make errors in judgment.

Addressing the recent series of business ethics scandals, he frequently explains how the structures, values and basic assumptions of organizations, as well as the character of individuals, foster ethical corporate cultures. He also demonstrates how ethical policies are subverted when powerful processes such as pay incentives, potential conflicts of interest and personal influence shape decisions that result in outrageous ethical lapses.

His just published book, Everyday Ethics: Putting Values into Action, illustrates the key behaviors he has identified in successful companies. This practical handbook is rich with examples and lessons that can be tailored to audiences at all levels.

Drawing on more than 20 years of ethics consulting experience, he is often asked to provide practical strategies for strengthening corporate culture. The practical frameworks for recognizing and resolving ethical dilemmas that he presented in his book, The Responsible Manager (Harper & Row 1990) can also be the basis of talks or full day seminars.
