The Platonic tradition of public service, as described by Lewis, is to serve society exclusively without regard to external influences, including one's own personal interests or financial incentives. Lewis defines political judgment as “…identifying a private interest masquerading as a public good” (p. 527). In this way, business interference with government can have a large impact and businesses push policy in a certain direction. Therefore, it can be argued that considering business in public administration is important for understanding external motivations for government actions. Corporate lobbying of the White House is an example of corporate influence on policy formation. If incentives are provided, the government will move in a particular direction. Furthermore, the concept of a two-party political system demonstrates how personal interests and moral codes are embedded in the political system. While there are benefits to holding government and public administration to impartial standards, officials may become less responsive to their duties without shared impulses to collaborate. Morality and self-interest can serve as instigators to produce results in public service. These individual motivations should not be punished but valued within an environment. This further demonstrates the need for diversity to be able to do this
