We discuss ethics and situations that Ralph experiences in his career. He says the most important aspect of his job is to balance the interests and do what is right for the company, the employees and what’s right for the owners. There are core issues that we are taught at a young age and one of the core elements Ralph sees is responsibility which he says is a basis for ethical behavior.
