I'm one of the lucky [ethics officers]. The program isn't going to work if I don't have the full direction and control from my management and board of directors. The program would look great on paper, but it wouldn't mean anything. It's the fact that the CEO and division presidents stand up and say [to the entire company], 'You will comply, and you will be ethical.' That makes the difference. |
Most people see the position as an opportunity. |
There is no such thing as a typical day in the world of ethics because you just never know what phone calls you're going to get. Part of the reason you have human beings in this job is there is no such thing as the one right rule. |
