If you want to be ethical, start by being kind to the pizza delivery driver.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That\u2019s what Eastern Mennonite University President Susan Schultz Huxman told hundreds of people gathered for the Harrisonburg Rotary Club\u2019s annual Code of Ethics Awards luncheon on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cRemember, the exercise in good ethical judgment isn\u2019t about large, high-stakes, newsworthy matters,\u201d she told the crowd at James Madison University\u2019s Festival Conference and Student Center. \u201cIt\u2019s about simple, mundane ordinary matters, like how you treat the pizza delivery driver.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Each year, the city\u2019s Rotary Club recognizes students from Harrisonburg and Rockingham County who demonstrate ethical behavior in and beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Rotary President Andy Vanhook said the program has been part of the club\u2019s history \u201cfor as long as anyone can remember.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This year, 73 students from 36 schools were chosen by their teachers and administrators. Each school, except the Dayton Learning Center, selected a boy and girl for the school award. The names and photos of all the winners were published in today\u2019s Daily News-Record.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Huxman was the keynote speaker for the luncheon and her talk, \u201cThe Ethics of Leadership: A Lost Art,\u201d focused on ethical behavior.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cBe a good Samaritan,\u201d she said. \u201cRemember, it\u2019s not your physical size. It\u2019s not your fancy title. It\u2019s not your income level that makes a difference in terms of ethical leadership. It\u2019s the size of your heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The culmination of her address centered on an essay published by NPR titled \u201cBe Cool To The Pizza Delivery Dude.\u201d The essay lays out several reasons to be kind to the person who delivers your pizza.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cEthical leadership requires you to be passionate above all else; to look out for others, not yourself. And not to expect anyone to know of your good deeds,\u201d Huxman said. \u201cWho knew there could be a memorable ethical lesson in how to treat pizza delivery people?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Laura Toni-Holsinger, executive director of the United Way of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, told the students to remain a beacon of ethical behavior. She said the business leaders gathered in the room will take notice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIf you hear nothing else today, it is us telling you to keep being you,\u201d she said. \u201cYou are the people that they want to hire.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
