Wandering Into Wisdom

This blog chronicles the knowledge, insight and wisdom I encounter every day as a leadership consultant, executive coach, educator, father, friend and citizen. This site is dedicated to my father, Louis (Jack) Laughlin, who passed on to me an appreciation for wisdom. A special thanks to my friend Isaac Cheifetz, a businessman and journalist, who helped me understand the value of blogs and encouraged me to write one.

The Test*

Rotary International has a set of ethical guidelines called The Four-Way Test that members use to guide their actions.

Of the things we think, say or do:
First...Is it the truth?
Second...Is it fair to all concerned?
Third...Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
Fourth...Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
