Nigel's testimonial to the great value of Objectivism:
Background
Nigel is principal consultant of Enterprise Ethics, an IT and business ethics consultancy.
Nigel graduated in 1977 from ANU with an Arts degree majoring in philosophy and law. He was invited to do an Honours degree in philosophy but decided instead to move to Sydney for a career in Information Technology. Since 1978, he has worked with 10 companies involved in retail, banking, insurance, credit reporting, and computer software. During these years he gained wide experience in consultancy, management and software instructing.
Nigel first read the works of Ayn Rand 30 years ago, and they have continued to inspire and educate him ever since. He attributes his success in his IT business, in management and in software instructing, to the work ethic he acquired from reading Ayn Rand’s philosophy Objectivism.
Nigel is a motivational speaker who has addressed business groups on the great benefits of Objectivism for motivation and innovation.
The Motivational Power of Morality
The most powerful motivator is not money, fame, or love, but morality. It was morality that inspired Daniel in the lions' den; it was morality that motivated Dr Fred Hollows to fly to Vietnam to continue operating as he was dying of cancer; it is morality that causes environmentalists to be so dedicated in the pursuit of their ideals.
This is why a morality of rational self-interest (which underlies authentic business pride) can be such a powerful motivator in the business world.
