Honesty

EXAMPLE:

Honesty is the most fundamental ethical value of all the values. People who are honest are admired and trusted. If it were not for noble and honest leaders, this world would have been different today. Former US presidents Nixon and Clinton lost their credibility because they were not honest to the Americans. Many people have achieved success due to their honesty. EXAMPLE:

Every one must be honest and sincere, whether it is in our personal life or organization. If a person is honest, he can be trusted. A person is characterized by his honesty and assessed by others in the society for his trustworthiness. Trust is very important in this society. On numerous occasions a person's honesty plays an important role in defining the way he lives and works. Not always a person is rewarded for being honest, he may be punished too, but that should not deter a person from being honest.

Companies which are honest develop good customers and suppliers and prosper.

EXAMPLE:

Responsibility

EXAMPLE:

Every person is responsible for something. If we own our responsibility and work towards achieving the goals, there will be success. We go through different phases of life and take different responsibilities in life. Parents are responsible for the children; to take care of them is natural. People should also take social responsibilities. EXAMPLE:

Responsibilities are not the same and unique but by virtue of nature, some are defined and others are created.

In an organization, depending upon the organization chart, each person's responsibility is defined. Senior management is responsible for the welfare of the company, employees and the society. Management which understands and takes its responsibility seriously will bring more success to the firm.

Mattel Inc, showed responsibility by recalling the Chinese made toys because it was found that there was lead content in the toys. This is a good example of being responsible to your customers and the society.

EXAMPLE:

EXAMPLE:

Loyalty is the willingness to make personal sacrifice to make a strong relationship. If people in a group are loyal to the group, the motivation is immense in the group and the chance of success is very high to achieve the goals. One has to be loyal in personal relationship and it is expected. Loyalty is very important for a successful marriage. EXAMPLE:

Relationships could be personal or business relationships. Loyal employees are necessary for the success of an organization. Loyal employees would be valuable assets to every company. There is a direct relationship between customer loyalty and a company's growth and profitability. You can not have loyal customers without loyal employees. Loyalty is also seen in business in a variety of ways. Expectations and demands of loyalty vary in different situations.
