The MBA oath – is anyone listening?

As a manger my purpose is to serve the grater good by bringing people and resources together to create value that no single individual can create alone. Therefore I will seek a course that enhances the value my enterprise can create for society over the long term. I recognize my decisions can have far-reaching consequences that affect the well being of individuals inside an outside my enterprise, today and in the future. As I reconcile the interests of different constituencies I will face choices that are not easy for me and others.
Therefore I promise:

• I will act with utmost integrity an pursue my work in an ethical manner.
• I will safeguard the interest of my stakeholders, co workers, customers and the society in which we operate.
• I will perform my duties in good faith, guarding against decisions and behaviours that advance my own narrow ambitions but harm the enterprise and the society it serves.
• I will understand and uphold, both in letter and in spirit the laws and contracts governing my own conduct and that of my enterprise.
• I will take responsibility for my actions and will represent the performance and risks of my enterprise accurately and honestly
• I will develop both myself and my coworkers so that the organization grows.
• I will be accountable to my peers and they will be accountable to me for living by this both.
