Over the last year, we have seen a steady breakdown of trust and confidence in both institutions and individuals through a variety of ethics scandals.
How did we get in this mess? How do we restore trust in our leaders and our institutions? More importantly, how do we get back America’s integrity?
In his book, What Do You Stand For?, writer and ethics specialist Jim Lichtman details six core ethical values along with stories told by people who have done it right, including former Secret Service Director Lewis Merletti, former Johnson & Johnson CEO James Burke, as well as those who would call themselves “ordinary” citizens. All provide insight and inspiration to encourage each of us to live up to our highest aspirations.
