- Title
When Character and Entrepreneurship Meet: A View from the World of Sport.
- Authors
Wright, Thomas A.
- Abstract
The study of character is both a legitimate and worthwhile topic for organizational discourse and analysis. Character (ethos) refers to those interpenetrable and habitual qualities within individuals, and applicable to organizations that both constrain and lead them to pursue personal and societal good. Considered through the lens of character strengths profiles, an interview with Gus Rethwisch, successful entrepreneur, world-class athlete, and professional actor, is used as a backdrop to help provide an engaging and provocative discussion of the topic of character. To that end, suggestions are provided which highlight how the topic of character can best be used to enlighten our organizational research and teaching.
