Quotes from This Episode
  • “I call privilege the evil twin of power. If you have more power, you typically have more privilege.”
  • “You cast a shadow if you’re inconsistent, and you also cast a shadow if your loyalties are to yourself and not in the right place.”
  • “It’s not enough just to have good character. Particularly in a large organization, people don’t know you personally. So you have to be active in terms of shaping the organizational culture.”
  • (The work of Brown and Trevino) “really opened up a lot of research, which has revealed that ethical leaders finish first, not last.”
  • “It’s not selfish to find out your calling or vocation or where you can best serve because that’s where you’re going to best serve as a leader.”
