Ethics are substantially dependent on the decisions that individual administrators make and the values they hold. How does that seem to you? Do you trust the decisions of individual administrators? Do you think ethics can be taught? Or do you agree with Kettl, that a careful balance must be maintained between “. . . the individual values of public administrators and the professional training they bring to the job . . . a balance between the cultures of their agencies and the oversight of external forces. . . . and a strong relationship between public administrators and the citizens to whom they ultimately are responsible.” Is it possible to promote or maintain this kind of balance?
