Personal Leadership

This week's reading focused on the Johnson and Johnson “Our Credo” (link provided below), which is their
list of ethics, values and priorities which they use to guide them when in compromising situations. Look
closely at the first few sentences in each of the first four paragraphs and see what their priorities are.
Discuss what effects this type of focus or priority would have on the leader’s and employee’s behaviors
within an organization.
-What is J&J’s first priority? Last priority?
-Would publishing the credo be enough to make it successful? Why or why not?
-What would happen if leadership did not make decisions based on a credo? (Or code of ethics?)
