Integrity, Ethics and Virtues
|
Presented by Bob Czimbal
Integrity conveys a sense of wholeness and
strength. A person of integrity is guided by a set of core principles that
empowers them to behave consistently to a high standard. The building
blocks of integrity are virtues like; compassion, dependability,
generosity, honesty, kindness, loyalty, maturity, objectivity, respect,
trust and wisdom. Happiness comes from living in integrity. We feel good about ourselves when we make a commitment to be our best. Integrity is choice rather obligation. Integrity cannot be forced from outside sources. We do what is right even when no one is watching. Our actions are our own reward. The right thing is not always the easy thing. There is intrinsic satisfaction when we assess our courage when our integrity is being tested. Possessing a high degree of integrity means our words and deeds are in alignment. Personal integrity is the foundation for ethics. Integrity can be defined as our internal system of principles that guides our behavior and ethics is an external system. There is a dynamic relationship between integrity and ethics where one strengthens the other. A person who has worked hard to develop a high standard of integrity will likely transfer these skills to their professional life. Good business ethics encourages integrity. We have all witness the problems that a lack of integrity can cause.
The primary focus of this presentation is
on how to raise our standards of integrity. Employees are asked to submit
topics on integrity in advance so the presentation can be customized to
their needs. Topics:
