Ethics in an OrganizationValuePersonal source with examplesJustifies the position of the value in the list. Include any challenges to consistently employing these values ​​when making personal and organizational decisions. Integrity First and foremost, I always strive to do the right thing even when no one is watching. This will prevent me from getting into trouble and making bad decisions that could affect my organization. I have seen many people in the Air Force lose ranks, money and even their families due to lack of integrity. A few years ago some large companies failed in this industry, for example Enron. Due to the lack of integrity of some individuals, these companies have suffered great losses. This could be a serious problem because greed can push people to make bad choices; that's why this value is at my number one. Service Before Self Putting your own desires aside to put those of the organization before your own is something difficult to do, but in the end both “I and the organization” will benefit from it. This is something people do almost every day in the Air Force. When people put our ambitions and desires before everything else, we may have a narrow vision and deviate from what is best for the organization. This is something that may have been the main or one of the problems with Enron executives. I think after integrity this is the second most important value to have in an organization. Excellence in everything we do Why give 100% when we can do better and give 110% for the organization? I believe in doing a task correctly the first time with as few errors as possible. By doing our job well and giving everything we have to the organization, we will foster a better working environment and this will ultimately attract the attention of potential customers. I think this value is related to the values ​​above. I really believe that if we don't do our job well, if we don't give our best, accidents will happen, people will get used to taking shortcuts and this can affect the organization as a whole. Accidents have happened and even people have died due to lack of excellence in everything we do. Organizations have also lost big contracts and I refuse to let my organization down. Trustworthiness Trust is an important part of business these days. People will invest in your organization based on the level of trust you offer them.
