It’s simply how one choses to live, act and treat others based on what they know to be truth. This is demonstrated in the workplace by:
Standards of personal performance
Treatment of others
Responsibility and accountability for actions
Two examples to make the point a little clearer:
You are assigned to work on a project and due to numerous interruptions, it’s taking twice as long to complete than agreed upon. Assuming those waiting on the finished project would understand, you don’t coordinate a revised completion date and you turn the project in a week late.
- You over hear people complaining that you never respond to phone calls or e-mail messages to even let someone know you received them. Your though is that they should know how busy you are with putting out fires and dealing with unexpected situations.
