Seattle Breakfast Event
"First Do No Harm: Should Business Professionals Have a Hippocratic Oath?" The MBA Oath is a recent effort to professionalize management, similar to medicine or law, featuring a set of ethical norms consistent with a biblical view of work and business. Oath participants pledge to “to serve the greater good…act with utmost integrity…[and] safeguard the interests of my shareholders, co‐workers, customers and the society in which we operate.” We will discuss this recent initiative - as featured in Business Week, The Economist, NPR and other media outlets - and the potential ways Christian business people can lead in this burgeoning effort to “first do no harm.” |
