A Stand-Up Guy

Harry Stonecipher was forced to resign as CEO of Boeing last week because of an affair with a female executive of the company. Unlike so many of his CEO colleagues, here's what Stonecipher said, "I violated my own standards. I used poor judgment." Rather than blame the board, he praised it for taking action when it found something inappropriate.

We all screw up. In today's world, it is the rare person who admits to doing so. Three cheers for Stonecipher.
