For ethical lessons from Silicon Valley Bank, turn to spies

Julian Zelizer: For ethical lessons from Silicon Valley Bank, turn to spies for ethical behavior.

CIA's spies are taught, quite literally, to live a lie, says Zelizer.

For an organization to be truly ethical, all its members must understand the core values which guide it, he says.

Zelizer says corporate social responsibility has to permeate the entire culture of an organization.

Robert Grenier served for 27 years in the Central Intelligence Agency, ending his career as Director of the CIA CounterTerrorism Center.

Grenier: The postmortem on SVB is only beginning. It will include criticism of corporate greed and lack of government regulation, as well as simple stupidity.
