I do think that the best engineering ethos that I admire is that engineers are not just motivated by a payday but to build something useful for everyone. HP at its best time represented that. I do like that his quote at the end: "Companies should not merely be thought of as money generating machines. Business can represent human society at its best. A business is a group of people working together to deliver value to the world and improve people’s lives. When done ethically, business quite literally changes the world for the better. However, if the dark side of human motivation is not mitigated with standards and ethics, business can destroy."
