"I have known Ken Goodpaster for a number of years and always
have been impressed with his ability to translate broad
philosophical concepts into real-life business practice. Nowhere is
this more important than in the area of values and ethics.
Insightful, instructive, and thought-provoking, Ken is at the top
of his game in Conscience and Corporate Culture."

Medtronic, Inc.

them, and teachers and managers will appreciate it."
