“We… will continue to
succeed if we adhere to
the principles of our
credo – first, the
serving of our
customers, then to the
people in the plant, and
then the management,
and then the
community, and, finally
and last, to the
stockholders.”

community college system?
2. Why did you stay?

An Organization Under Pressure
This was two years of hell. And so I
witnessed a slow erosion of focus on
values… If you looked at them without
regard to their magnitude, and you
asked, was this right or wrong? The
answer would be wrong and you know
it. Okay. But it’s only a little bit
wrong…”
![Page 14: Ethical Leadership in Uncertain Times - ACBO Spring/ACBO...Ethical Leadership in Uncertain Times Jack Gilbert, EdD Clinical Associate Professor May 19th, 2015 Our Focus Today • The](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042802/5f3a3bb6c8a1c8110b5aaff3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“… and I think in your head, the more
you let these little wrongs build up,
you start setting these mental
precedents that make it easier to slide
into doing more and more little things
or slightly bigger and then bigger and
bigger things.”

What is the importance of
understanding ethical erosion to
your effectiveness as a leader?

Ethical Erosion: In Short
Ethical Erosion is characterized by a series
of small, even unnoticed, acts that erode
ethical behavior with each act providing a
foundation for the next more erosive act.
All of which can lead to significant even
disastrous adverse organizational and
personal consequences.

Ethical Wisdom: What is it?
Ethical Wisdom is the individual and collective
knowledge, experience, and good sense, to make
sound ethical decisions and judgments everywhere,
every day
Ethical Wisdom is already resident in the
organization and in those who work in it.
Ethical Wisdom doesn’t have to be taught but it does
have to be accessed and harnessed

What one or two actions will you
take this week as a result of your
insights from today?

“It is important to know
that we were a bunch
of people together.
This is not a handicap
but a help. If you have
to fight it alone, it is
more difficult… None
of us thought we were
heroes. We were just
people trying to do our
best.”

“In the end, I would like
to say to people,
“Remember that in your
life there will be lots of
circumstances that will
need a kind of courage, a
kind of decision of your
own, not about other
people but about
yourself.”
