The Four-Way Test |
|
| |
From the earliest days of the
organization, Rotarians were concerned
with promoting high ethical standards in
their professional lives. One of the
world's most widely printed and quoted
statements of business ethics is The
Four-Way Test, which was created in 1932
by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor (who later
served as RI president) when he was
asked to take charge of a company that
was facing bankruptcy. |

This 24-word test for employees to
follow in their business and
professional lives became the guide for
sales, production, advertising, and all
relations with dealers and customers,
and the survival of the company is
credited to this simple philosophy.
Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The Four-Way
Test has been translated into more than
a hundred languages and published in
thousands of ways. It asks the following
four questions: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
"Of the things we think, say or do: |
|
| |
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and
BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all
concerned?"
