Honesty and Business Ethics

This week's lesson was on Honesty and Business Ethics, which to me are extremely critical in life, but especially in the business world.
We read a talk given by Sheri Dew, titled, "True Blue, Through and Through" which I really enjoyed and got a lot from. She spoke about integrity, and one part I really liked, and hope to remember is this. She said, "
Integrity is the foundational virtue upon which all other virtues are dependant. It is the first rung on the character ladder. Where there is integrity, other virtues will follow. Where there is no integrity, other virtues have no chance of developing." Integrity is so crucial. If we do not possess it, we basically have no chance of developing other virtues. And integrity is important in every relationship we have. Also from this talk, Sheri Dew gave us seven things that will help us be men and women of integrity. They are:
1. Decide today, once and for all, that you will be worthy of trust

2. Have faith that the Lord can and will help you, and then diligently seek His help.

3. Make covenants and keep them.

4. Stand up for what you believe.

5. Expect your integrity to be challenged.

6. Don’t give up.

7. Covenant–or perhaps I should say, renew your covenant–with our Father and His Son to do what you came here to do.
I feel that all of these truly will help us become a person with integrity.

We also watched some videos that gave great insight on how important it is to be honest and have integrity, as well as good ethics when it comes to the business world. Great information all around! A good example of a person who posseses honesty and business ethics is my boss, Brett. In our discussion board this week, I talked about him, and how he has been successful, in all aspects, because of the way he conducts his business.
