Great bosses can showcase their management and leadership skills to attract top talent, and boost their careers, through a newly launched `boss review' website.

"People join companies, but they leave bosses. We believe people should join companies because of great bosses," says Gavin Symanowitz, founder of newly launched www.GetAGreatBoss.com.

Corporate governance is built on fundamental principles identified as fairness, accountability, responsibility and transparency. These appear in and are common to the majority of international publications dealing with the responsibility of directors.

Most definitions of workplace honesty speak about “refraining from lying”, “upholding high ethical standards” and “high levels of integrity”. What this means in practice is difficult to define. Every situation is different. A person who is completely honest about everything may not be an effective worker or a good team player.

Recently we have read about some high profile ethical failures and this causes me to ask – Do our leaders in industry and government understand the difference between right and wrong? The destruction of the lives of others due to unethical practices in the financial sector cannot be overlooked or treated casually.

We read and hear a great deal about “codes of conduct” - “codes of Ethics” – “Codes of Good Practice” and so on. Do we understand what they are and what they mean? Codes of conduct can be defined as - “A set of rules outlining the responsibilities of or proper practices for an individual or organisation”. Other related topics include concepts related to codes of ethics which deal with professional and business conduct.
