 Business Ethics, I purposefully sought out an Executive MBA program that made Ethics in Business a central part of its teachings, this is why I went to Pepperdine University, one of only two Executive MBA programs in the entire country that does this. I also believe in Servant Leadership, that is a leadership style that is humbling and puts concern for the team, group and company above your own concerns/needs. I am very passionate about ethics and leadership and walking the walk.
