Organizational DNA: Law of Virtue

by Jeffrey Moore

Virtue Development looks to shape organizational cultures that cultivate the positive character traits that enable decision-makers to act in appropriate ways, without the need for specific rules for every situation. Well-formed individuals simply react in ways that are consistent with their character. This 'virtue-theoretic' approach to decision-making frees the decision-maker to exercise her/his judgment in ways that are faithful to organizational ideals that define the kind of person a given organization is seeking to develop (and attract).
