(1996). Changing the Bully Who Rules the World: Reading and Thinking about Ethics.
"We are an ill-behaved species, generally speaking. Still, we have invented and carved into the stones of nearly every religion three ideas that no other animal has recorded so far. No animal would stop licking the red off its paws for an abstract idea, never mind a moral abstraction.
The first idea is that you shouldn't hurt the innocent of your own species, even if they happen not to be known to you personally. The second is that mercy is a positive good, not just a default activity of the weak. The third idea is that is good to stand apart from the group when the group is unjust, even if the group responds with muscle and scorn. Motivation for standing apart from the group has to come from integrity, never from wanting profit. No practical extrovert would go to the grief of such loneliness." (p. 484)

(1999). Ethics on the Job: Cases and Strategies.
"To act ethically is, at the very least, to strive to act in ways that do not hurt other people; that respect their dignity, individuality, and uniquely moral value; and that treat others as equally important to oneself. If you believe these are worthwhile goals, then you have reason to strive to act ethically. If you do not believe these are worthwhile goals for human beings to pursue, then you may believe it is not important to act ethically." (p. 7)

(1982). Out of the Crisis.
"The cause of a point outside the limit of variation of the system on the bad side may be permanent; it may be ephemeral. Someone that can not learn the job would provide an example of a permanent circumstance. The company hired him for this job; hence has a moral obligation to put him into the right job." (p. 115)
Compare with Collis 1: "The right person should be matched with the right job, not only initially but continuously."

(1997). The Seven Fatal Management Sins: Understanding and Avoiding Managerial Malpractice.
"Employees must be treated as assets, as investments. Nothing less should be acceptable. That makes sense not only from the humanitarian or moral side of the equation but also from the overall business side. The right person should be matched with the right job, not only initially but continuously. That means planning an employee's future in the organization. An employee who was placed in the proper job when he or she was hired may have outgrown that job a year later. A good manager must recognize that and proceed accordingly. Once placed in an organization, many employees are are forgotten for all practical purposes, forgotten until someone 'dares' to speak out. The sad thing is that such indifference hurts not only the employee but the organization. It is the responsibility of managers to get the best employees for their organizations and to place them in the right slots . But the manager's job is not over at that point. It is equally important for managers to continue the orderly and timely advancement of their employees." (p. 164)
"The right person should be matched with the right job, not only initially but continuously." This reminds me of a quote from W. Edwards Deming: "The company hired him for this job; hence has a moral obligation to put him into the right job." (1, p. 115)
