As I read The Ethics Challenge, I couldn’t help but reflect on my 31 years as an NFL referee and a like number as a teacher and school administrator. The question came to mind—What do others expect of me?  This book emphasizes how our intentions to do the right thing can be embodied by our will and our actions. In today’s environment, you need to read this book!

As a leader in the mass media industry, I have a commitment to continually strengthen the ethical climate of my organization. The temptation, especially in tough times, is to cut corners and compromise rather than sticking to my own basic values. The Ethics Challenge provides me with a systematic strategy to follow my own good intentions. It is an invaluable tool to the leader who wants to make a lasting difference.

With every high-level corruption case of a public offi cial, it seems that new, more stringent and complicated ethics laws are passed to “prevent” any future public breach. Th ese new laws may provide public officials cover for the indiscretions of their colleagues, but don’t make for more ethical elected officials. As Stone and Ukleja point out, ethical actions are personally inspired and are not found in ethics rules or laws.
