Questions, not moralizing
Posted on December 30, 2008 at 2:15 pmTurney Stevens on Lipscomb University’s new Dean Institute for Corporate Governance & Integrity:
It’s not our purpose or our place to try to moralize. Our purpose is to raise the question: “What’s the professional—and the right—thing to do? How do you define words like truth and integrity?” At our launch this month we did a seminar with Benjamin W. Heineman Jr., from Harvard, who wrote High Performance with High Integrity. He has done more thinking than anybody in the country on how to create a culture where people are motivated and rewarded for doing the right thing.
