10. Touching The Future With Integrity.(LEADERS & SUCCESS)(IBD'S 10 SECRETS TO SUCCESS)
Byline: Amy Alexander
Besides schooling kids in reading, writing and arithmetic, the best teachersshed light on personal ethics, too. As graduates across the country flip theirtassels, the following professionals share integrity lessons that they learnedfrom their favorite teachers.
Herbert Glieberman, a Chicago-based attorney, was a high school sophomore in1945. That year, his favorite teacher was Mr. Klug, who taught commercial law at Roosevelt High School in Chicago.
"He was a teacher, mentor and good friend," Glieberman said in a recent interview. "He was very courteous and very kind to all of the students."
One of the most precious lessons that Glieberman recalls hearing from Klug is the importance of maintaining a spot-free professional reputation.
"He said, "If you decide to go into law, you have to remember that it's a lifelong profession,' " Glieberman said. Back then, Glieberman noted, most people didn't have the option of switching careers if their business was spoiled by shady actions. Earning a good reputation, one of honesty and integrity, was essential for success.
Glieberman realizes integrity isn't the first thing that comes to mind when folks think about lawyers. But for him, throughout his 47-year practice, it's always been vital. At 70, he continues to focus his practice on sound principles.
