What ethical code do you hold yourself to?

Fundamental Competencies
Written By Stacia Aylward

The Challenge

Write down your own personal "code of ethics." Try to include at least three statements. 

Why do this?

Being able to articulate what level of behavior you hold yourself to makes it easier to assess and realign when you notice yourself drifting off track.

Having an ethical code is a sign of integrity, and will be noticed by those around you, even if you never tell them what it is. 

What’s next?

Look over what you wrote. How often would you say you live up to your own code? Is there one item you wish you were better on?
