SUBJECT : Discussion of Creativity, Controls, and Ethics in
Midcareer Course.No. 57
Jack:
In my view, you should not need to take a position on the
"ideas and recommendations" that emerge from these exercises.
The value, at least initially,-in these drills is the process
itself. For the first time, we have stimulated in a series of
our middle level and senior training courses a systematic and
structured self-analysis of fundamental ethical and moral issues
that confront all of us in our profession. I think the process
should continue for a while, and then perhaps we should organize
a couple more seminars such as those that kicked off this process
last year - the purpose of which should be to review. the results
of the training courses, evaluate the ideas and suggestions that
have emerged, and perhaps to try a draft of a code of ethics.
