At Rotary, we believe that integrity and ethical behavior are the cornerstones of a thriving community. That’s why the Rotary Four-Way Test is an essential tool we use to guide our actions and decisions. Adopted by Rotary in 1943 this simple yet powerful set of questions helps us navigate complex situations with clarity and moral purpose.
The Four-Way Test:
Is it the truth? π£οΈ
Is it fair to all concerned? βοΈ
Will it build goodwill and better friendships? π€
Will it be beneficial to all concerned? π
The Benefits:
β¨ Integrity and Honesty: By asking, “Is it the truth?” we ensure that our actions and communications are transparent and truthful, building trust and credibility.
β¨ Fairness and Equity: The question, “Is it fair to all concerned?” promotes fairness and justice, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone is treated with respect.
β¨ Goodwill and Friendship: “Will it build goodwill and better friendships?” reminds us to prioritize positive relationships and collaboration, strengthening our sense of community.
β¨ Beneficial Impact: Lastly, “Will it be beneficial to all concerned?” encourages us to consider the broader impact of our decisions, ensuring that our actions contribute to the greater good.
The Rotary Four-Way Test isn’t just a guideline for Rotary members β it’s a universal tool that can help anyone make better, more ethical decisions. Join us in embracing these principles and creating a brighter, more just world together. ππ
