Ask These 4 Quick Questions to Check Your Character

Do you want to build trust with others? Character is a key ingredient and makes your team feel safe under your leadership. Typically, when we make a mistake and admit it and work to correct back, most people will trust us more. But that takes courage.

Ask yourself these four questions:

 

Have you clarified your standards and values of ethics? If not, we recommend that you start with the Honor Code shown here. You can use it to form your own standards. Does your walk match your talk? Ask yourself are you truly committed to living by these standards. Are you willing to be accountable? Do you have someone to give you counsel when you are not sure where the lines of ethics are? Who is a mentor or teammate that can help you be accountable? Do you take ownership of your mistakes and shortcomings? Do you act quickly to correct back on course i.e. apologize and make amends for your wrong actions and words? If you have doubts and fears, it���s going to be hard to be vulnerable and admit that you are struggling to live up to these standards.

 

We have the opportunity to make honorable, character-filled decisions every day to make a lasting difference���to live and lead with honor. This is the essence of respect which provides positive and powerful influence.
