This document discusses developing, implementing, and measuring an effective code of conduct. It provides examples of companies that have both succeeded and failed at this. United Airlines' code did not reflect its values, leading to problems. Lehman Brothers' code focused only on rules rather than ethics. Microsoft eliminated most policies and ensured its values were reflected in all aspects of business through management training and transparency. The document stresses that an effective code requires thoughtful, strategic, and scientific development, implementation through training and culture, and measurement using climate surveys, audits, and benchmarks.
