WHY BE ETHICAL?
“Because we will not survive the 21st century with the ethics of the 20th century”! (Rushworth Kidder)
Our young people need our example. Ethics, quality and leadership go hand in hand. To the extent that we do not self regulate, we will
be regulated by law. To avoid career ending move.
We will not survive the 21st Century with the ethics of the 20th.
