Author Appearance:
Former business executive & entrepreneur
DONALD LEE SHEPPARD
|
|
|
Part business manifesto and part memoir,
The Dividends of Decency
shows by example how companies can achieve success when following established codes of ethics rather than deceit and dishonesty. Sheppard’s book provides a unique business profile of two decidedly different individuals with distinctly contrasting values. Sharing anecdotes and personal experience, Sheppard demonstrates that principles and profits are not mutually exclusive, and that the former can significantly improve the latter as well as enhance business and community relationships.
Donald Lee Sheppard emerged from humble beginnings in a Northern Ontario mining town to become a leader in employee benefits consulting and communications. He rose through the ranks of companies such as Manulife, William M. Mercer, and Johnson & Higgins, and later, built and sold his own employee communications consulting firm. Currently the CEO of Sheppard Properties, LLC in La Cañada Flintridge, he is actively involved in charitable ventures and has received several awards for his community service.
