“I think effective leaders, to be effective in anything near the long term have to be ethical. And what I mean by ethical is, make decisions with an eye towards lasting values above the urgency of the quarterly earnings statement or individual feelings of political forces or the news. But look at the long term and care deeply about helping their people reach their potential and find meaning in the work. To me, that’s the only way to be effective as a leader to be an ethical leader. And one other thing I’ll say. To bring truth to the center of your enterprise, whether it’s a non-profit or company or the government, have truth at the center of it.”
