Course Description

Ethical lapses across the cultural landscape and the uncertainties of a post-9/11 world confirm that integrity is a timeless yet increasingly timely virtue. In a challenging but encouraging way, this topic is creatively analyzed by exploring such questions as: What are the crucial aspects of integrity and how can it be memorably defined? Why is it of vital importance to today’s workplace and an individual’s ultimate impact? How can it be maintained when those around us choose to operate differently? A presentation on integrity might be expected to be obvious, boring, or preachy, but this one is none of these. As a CEO once wrote afterwards, “Many of our members thought it an unusual topic before you spoke. They all believed it to be a vital one when you finished.”
