CEO
Continued from page 1A
Kovacevich said there are a few guidelines to fol
low before investing in a company.
It is a good idea to ensure that a company’s
employees believe in its vision, mission and values
and consistently apply them in their daily decision
making, he said. Kovacevich said observing how
people within a company make decisions can give
insight into the true ethics of a company. One should
find out if the employees believe in the corporation
enough to own stock in it. He said the most impor
tant quality of a company is its dedication to satisfy
its customers’ needs and wants.
“The corporation must be committed to their
employees and shareholders,” Kovacevich said. "It
also must be committed to long term success for the
community, which is best done through partner
ships.”
Integrity and innovation are derived from the root
word entire, he said. They imply unbroken trust at
all times in full entirety. He said this should be the
ideal basis of all corporations.
Kovacevich said integrity is the core of every
person and corporation, and without it. no corpora
tion can or should exist.
After his speech, Kovacevich answered ques
tions from the audience regarding ethics and moral
dilemmas.
Kovacevich’s speech was the third in the series of
the Wells Faigo Program on Ethics presented by the
George Bush Presidential Library.
Roman Popadiuk, executive director for the
George Bush Presidential Library Foundation, said
they are looking for programs to make the founda
tion attractive to students and community members.
“Ethics is important in our society and espe
cially in education," he said. “We thought it was
appropriate to bring this program to Texas A&M
to help explain how society deals with making
ethical business choices. It is a very relevant issue
at this point in our history.”
Energy
Vote
Continued from page 1A
Eight years in the minority,
now facing two more. House
Democrats looked ahead uncer
tainly to leadership elections next
week.
With Gephardt expected to
decide on his plans within a day
or two, a race to replace him was
already shaping up between a
California liberal. Rep. Nancy
Pelosi, and a Texas moderate,
Martin Frost.
“The country moved to the
right yesterday and House
Democrats won’t win a majority
by moving further to the left,”
said Tom Eisenhauer, spokesman
for Frost. Pelosi ranks second on
the current leadership ladder, one
rung above Frost.
* Gephardt, a likely contender
for the presidency in 2004, Hew
back to the capital from his
Missouri congressional district
to decide his next step. The 26-
year congressional veteran is
“going to spend a day with his
wife and family and talk to
friends and advisers and begin
making a decision about his
future,” said his spokesman,
Erik Smith.
New Jersey represented a
political victory for Democrats,
who prevailed in a court case to
replace Sen. Robert Torricelli on
the ballot even though the dead
line had passed.
