The principles practiced, values honored, and examples lived within an
organization are of vast importance to an organization's ability to learn.
One of my partners is fond of saying "What we allow, we teach." I don't
know where he got it, but it seems to be in alignment with Covey's 7
Habits, Lebow's "Eight Principles of the Heroic Environment" and many of
the religions of the world. If an organization operates unethically at any
level, that behavior becomes policy through its practice and is easily
extended throughout the system.
