One of the most widely printed & quoted statements of business ethics in the world is the Rotary 4-Way Test. ~ It was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Tay...lor (who later served as Rotary International President in 1954-55). He was tasked with taking charge of the Chicago-based Club Aluminum Company, which was struggling under Depression-caused financial difficulties. Facing the threat of bankruptcy, Taylor developed a code of ethics for all employees to follow in their professional and day-to-day lives. The 4-Way Test became a guide for sales, production, advertising and all relations with dealers and customers; the survival of the Club Aluminum Company accredited its survival to this simple philosophy. ~ The 4-Way Test was adopted by Rotary in 1943 as a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for all Rotarians to use in their personal and professional relationships. It has been translated into more than 100 languages and is recited by Rotarians at club meetings. ~ ~ We have found that you cannot constantly apply the 4-Way Test to all your relations with others, 8 hours a day in business, without getting into the habit of doing it in your home, social and community life. You thus become a better father, a better friend and a better citizen.- Herbert J. Taylor See more
