THE 4-WAY
TEST
From the earliest days of the organization,
Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their
professional lives. One of the world's most widely printed and quoted statements
of business ethics is The 4-Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian
Herbert Taylor (who later served as RI president) when he was asked to
take charge of a company that was facing bankruptcy. This 24-word code
of ethics for employees to follow in their business and professional lives
became the guide for sales, production, advertising, and all relations
with dealers and customers, and the survival of the company is credited
to this simple philosophy. Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The 4-Way Test has
been translated into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands
of ways. It asks the following four questions.
Of the things we think, say or do:
Is it the
TRUTH?
Is it FAIR
to all concerned?
Will it build
GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be
BENEFICIAL to all concerned? |
