Riassunto

Making Character First is the turn-round story of Kimray, Inc., a premier manufacturer of oil and gas equipment and controls. It is also Tom Hill's personal story of the founding and development of Character First, and includes a step-by-step guide for transforming the culture of any organization to one of character. With tough economic times for business, highly visible ethics violations in major corporations, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and a "flat" business world, the character of every individual, beginning with the top leaders, may be the most important and challenging issue facing every organization today. As leaders we must do more than ethics training. Ethical conduct can be motivated by fear of prosecution or by individual character. But individual character demands the right response, even when no one will ever know. Making Character First explains how Kimray became what it is today and how your organization can also develop a culture of character, the foundation of any effective ethics program.
