About the Ethos Series

Ethos is the link between 3 elements: leadership behaviors; core values; and, a decision-making process. Research demonstrates that all great organizations and individuals have a well-defined ethos.

The 3ethos framework can be used to define a:

  • Fiduciary standard for investment advisors, financial planners, trustees, and investment committees;
  • Stewardship standard in legal jurisdictions where a fiduciary standard does not exist;
  • Global wealth management standard;
  • Governance standard for boards of directors; and
  • Project management standard for staff.
