Summary: Five Minds for the Future – Howard Gardner

Ethics has moved to center stage with all of the corporate accounting scandals which have made the news in recent years. In simple terms, ethics is about understanding your role as a worker or as a citizen and acting accordingly. You have to act in ways which are consistent with your personal beliefs and which can withstand scrutiny should the tables be turned at some point in the future. To act ethically means for you and your organization to do all those things which will make you proud rather than hiding in a veil of ignorance.
