Integrity At Work:

The average person makes thousands of decisions every day. Most of them are easy. Decisions like what time to get up, what to have for breakfast, and when to go to work. These decisions mean you do something as a result. Your decisions lead to actions. You decide to get up at 7 a.m., so you get out of bed at that time. You decide to have eggs and toast for breakfast, so you make them. You need to arrive at work by 8:00 a.m., so you leave your home in time to get there before 8:00. Sometimes the actions you take as a result of a decision are pretty easy to perform. Ethics are behavior based upon your view of what is right or wrong. Ethical decisions can be hard to make. This is because most often the actions that follow these decisions directly impact others as well as yourself. Often, these decisions are not easily reached. Your own views of the right, wrong, good, or bad things to do are shaped by your personal life experience. As a result, your ethical views can be influenced by others, but they come from inside you. Your own ethics will likely be similar to many others you meet; but are likely to be very different from some people you encounter. This book will lead you on a journey of discovering your own view on ethics. In turn you will be perfectly positioned to create a personal code of ethics that will enhance your decision making and your life.
