Honesty and Integrity.
April 30, 2010
Honesty is truthfulness, sincerity, or to be dependable. Integrity is adherence to moral and ethical principles. Honesty and Integrity go hand in hand. They are synonyms to each other and go deep into the roots of people’s actual morals and values. This is a good professionalism skill because it can show that doing the right thing can keep you out of trouble that would not be caused in the first place due to simply being honest and having integrity.
Truthfulness is a quality all employers are looking for. It’s very rare that you will have a very truthful team in a corporate setting, or even in the world at all because it is so crooked and greed driven throughout all of the corporate business and dealings. Being truthful to yourself and others does no harm. You know you can’t make situations any worse then they are if you just tell the truth.
Integrity is a big professional quality in that you have to do the right thing no matter what the circumstances. When i think of integrity i think of doing the right thing even when nobody is watching. Make sure that you do what you have to do, not worrying about what others need to do. Integrity is a quality that will let one prosper professionally because integrity is doing what is right.
