“Circumstances may change but your values shouldn’t.” So begins the introduction to Huntsman’s book – “Winners Never Cheat.” Huntsman updated and re-issued this book to address the ethical lapses that he saw during the most recent economic downturn. The book makes a strident appeal for all business persons (and businesses) to maintain the highest ethical standards. He sets forth how one has learned these standards, how one knows right from wrong, how one overcomes the temptations to ignore these standards, and a variety of suggestions (surround yourself with ethical team members, operate the business as if they’re family owned, etc.) to increase the likelihood that the standards will be adhered to. Huntsman provides many real-life examples of the benefits and costs of maintaining the highest standards. The book is a very easy read and worth considering for a companion on a plane flight.
