Secretary of State Mike Pompeo unveiled a new ethos statement Friday to employees he called champions of American diplomacy.
By Carol Morello Carol Morello National reporter focusing on foreign policy and State Department Email Bio Follow April 26 at 12:23 PM The main lobby of the State Department throbbed with music Friday. “Happy” by Pharrell boomed out of a loudspeaker on the wall of the cavernous space where coveys of suited diplomats scurry past rows of national flags, followed by the voice of Bruno Mars singing “Uptown Funk.
But the splashy atmosphere surrounding the unveiling of Pompeo’s new “Professional Ethos” was more dramatic than the ethos itself, a nine-sentence statement that begins, “I am a champion of American diplomacy.”Many of the concepts in the ethos are already embedded in the State Department’s official mission statement, common human resources values or just the Golden Rule — professionalism, accountability, honesty and respect.
Pompeo acknowledged some of the people listening were probably wondering whether anything would change because of the short ethos statement.
