Some colleagues and I were just discussing "integrity". It struck me that
there might be more than one kind of integrity and that they might depend
on what is to remain "whole". The list below contrasts what I'm starting
to think of as the kind of integrity espoused by corporations (or any
organization) and another, more personal (or personally professional).
Corporate Integrity Personal Integrity Work as job Work as competency Power and position Money and skills Commitment to employer Commitment to project Work is life Life's work Individual is a resource Individual is an human The goal is profit The goal is learning The goal is profit The goal is truth The goal is corporate growth The goal is personal growth Resume as work Work as resume The work was here before you My work is part of my life "Teamwork should be "Teamwork is a chance to sacrificing egos for the learn from others while greater good of the whole" working together" The ideal team blends The ideal team encourages multiple egos into one cooperation among roles direction "It's your job" "It's my life" "Who signs your check?" "Who does the work?" You must give notice I might give notice I might give notice I won't be suprised Temps Freelancers Work Family Human Law Spirtual Law Fairness: everyone is the Fairness: everyone is holy same Avoid the appearance of Avoid hurting others impropriety Work on my questions Question my work Punishments and rewards Conscience and peace Money Life
