12 An Ethical Foundation “While I am grateful for the education that the School provided me, I am more grateful for the sense of ethics, morality, and social compassion that you impressed upon a very impressionable person…These lessons and values come back to me on a daily basis, and are even more valuable in this increasingly moral-less society fixated on financial and material wealth. In the business world, it never ceases to amaze me that the subject of ethics and social responsibility are devoid in almost every discussion and decision. While I work with some very bright and highly educated people, it amazes me how many of these people have seemingly not developed any moralistic or ethical foundation…” Joseph P. Brunetti Bellarmine College Prep, Class of 1983

13 Leaders Must “Walk the Talk”  Define and communicate the values that guide the organization’s decisions and actions  Build a shared understanding of what the organization is about and how it should operate  Build and maintain the organization’s culture  Model the behavior you expect from the organization –“Catch someone doing something right”  Remember that with rights, you also have responsibility
