Tell the truth, even if it means standing alone

After President Jimmy Carter died, the Museum of Political Corruption in Albany wanted to honor him, said its founder and president, Bruce Roter.

In 2017, Roter had received a handwritten note from Carter when he sought responses for a book on ethical leadership.

“His message was simple, yet powerful,” Roter told the crowd of about 100 hundred that filled a lecture hall on April 16 at the University at Albany.

“The root of ethical leadership is to tell the truth,” Carter wrote.
