Superhero Season

Summer approaches, which makes it superhero season. Why not use the appetite our youth have for these summer blockbusters to teach a lesson in ethics? I am a big believer that the key to being a strong leader is knowledge, and for our kids that means teaching them the stories behind all the pop culture they are consuming. Here’s a great piece that ran in the New Statesmen, about how the comic book industry treated the same people who created Superman and all his fellow mega-stars, which basically amounts to paying them nothing and then trying them up in court for years while they tried to get a fair share for their creation.  While superheroes are the theme for this piece, it’s really a lesson in business ethics.  What should have happened? What would have been fair? What decision would they have made? Is there a place in business to be gospel-centred, when profits drive decisions? There’s a reason why business schools have started focusing on moral behaviour.  Strong, honourable leaders don’t just happen. http://www.newstatesman.com/culture/2013/05/penury-swindlers-and-american-way-capitalist-legacy-superheroes
