Cowboy Ethics

Description

"For the past decade, the book Cowboy Ethics: What Wall Street Can Learn from the Code of the West has been helping people imagine a different kind of America ~ a melting-pot nation that find unity in basic, common-sense principles of honor, loyalty, and courage. A place where people are measured by their character, not their job title, the kind of car they drive, or the size of their bank account. Communities where neighbors help neighbors, and a simple handshake is enough to seal a deal. Now, in this special tenth anniversary edition, noted author and speaker Jim Owens frames his original "Ten Principles to Live By" with fresh inspiration, and a heartfelt call to action. In his vision, we can all find the hero that lies within. And the path that can lead each of us to a better, more meaningful life ... is the same one that leads to a better world."--Back cover

Description

Having been rocked by one damaging revelation of misbehavior after another, Wall Street is in a state of crisis. Investors are disgusted by the misdeeds of a few and suspicious of the industry at large. Every firm finds its integrity open to question. Regulators are up in arms. And the industry is facing billions of dollars in costs to comply with a floodtide of new regulations. But imagine what could happen if Wall Street firms looked back to a simpler time when a handshake was enough to seal a deal, and right and wrong were as clear as black and white. What if executives, portfolio managers, analysts, and traders decided that some things aren't for sale? What if every major investment firm agreed to live by the principle that the client always comes first? In words and images, Cowboy Ethics explores the life and code of the working cowboy as a source of inspiration pointing the industry to a way out of its troubles. The book is intended as the catalyst for a movement to transform the industry -- not with the carrot and stick, but from the inside out -- one person, firm, and organization at a time. -- from book flap.
