The first step towards integrity is being honest with yourself. Be who are. Say what you mean. Promise what you CAN do - and DO what you have promised.
Do what you say you will do. Period.
Do what you say you will do. Period.
Once you are honest with yourself - you can live with Integrity with others - Below are 5 ways you can do that at work...
1. Give 50 hours of work and 100 hours of value for 50 hours of pay.
1. Give 50 hours of work and 100 hours of value for 50 hours of pay.
You’re getting paid to do a job, not goof around. When you’re supposed to be working on something, you shouldn’t be surfing net or chatting with your colleague or smsing.
2. Don’t take credit for others’ success.
Never take someone’s idea and pitch it as your own. And don’t jump on a wagon at the end of a successful ride that you didn’t contribute to.
3. Be transparent.
Make your deals as transparent as possible. Don’t leave out things that the other party is going to hate you for later when they figure out what they really signed.
4. Don’t Cheat / Steal
Don't use office infrastructure / contacts for personal use. Don't make resumes in office, printouts, surfing, chatting, social networking (facebook, twitter) etc. Don't' steal the company stapler, pins, rubber, tissue paper roll, your colleagues tiffinbox, etc. This is pure Cheating & Stealing.
5. Don't take unethical decisions.
If you’re caught in something that prevents you from making completely honest decisions, get out. If your company pressures you to make unethical decisions, walk away. It’s not true every man has a price; a man of integrity prizes his character above monetary security. Is it possible to make it in your career field while having true integrity? Yes, but only if you’re the best at what you do. You’ll always need to be a cut above the guys who take shortcuts to get ahead.
