“Character ethics are self-evident, conscience-affirming truths that when acted on consistently, produce virtuous behaviors, such as: compassionate acts, honest answers and just decisions. If character is instilled in leaders, leaders are more likely to act in an ethical way; right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.”
