Washington Consulting Group,
David Trickett , Ethicist/Consultant
David Tricket writes of the “disconnection between values that are important to [corporations] as persons and their options for exercising those values and principles following from them at work. This disconnection actually points to a largely overlooked dimension of our experience in organizations, and it is a key management area with direct practical impact for line decision-makers and not only certain human resources or human systems staff officers. I’m speaking of the role of values and ethical principles in organizations and the way they can unleash extraordinary human potential if only tapped in the right way. It is an exploration of what may be a “right way” that I want to discuss here; it is a technology that has as its primary goal the renewal of the human infrastructure of organizations.”
