Abstract: 

This learning article concerns the executive power of using the Oath of Office as an employment contract. The Oath keeps the responsibility for performance on the Oath Takers. The expressed and implied values and work-ethics contained in The Oath surpass all other employment directives (e.g., rules, regulations, policies, practices). A list of actions to establish the Oath as the basis for all employment decisions is given. A short exam to assess employees’ understanding is included.
