About This Quote
The corporation is a legal entity that has a distinct personality precisely designed to avoid any violation of the law, no matter how much that law may be bent or broken. Part of that personality is a set of values that enforce ethical behavior within the organization. The company’s board serves as the keeper of those values and serves as a moderator of activities within the company. In this quote, Mr. Eisner is saying that the only way to have absolute power over others is to eliminate ethics from your board and from your employees.
