Ethics and Integrity are a subject matter of every organisation now days. They are not a skill and they cannot be learned through a webex or taking an assessment. This is your character. The traits comes from your internal growth or wisdom. Well we can say that the traits are implanted in you from the way you are raised in your childhood the values and principles implanted by your family. So Integrity Ethics they come from your family background and not with an educational certificate. Education can polish them up. With Education you can make powerpoint presentation of the subject or a webinar. Inner growth or wisdom are completely your own it is not a skill nor it can be taught.
So we see some people with integrity who know the value of ethics and some are struggling to learn it in books and online. Compliance and ethics are interlinked in the sense that in an organisation if
people are ethical which is really rare then work become less and simple. But most of the time it is the opposite. Even though people are trying to find out the flaws and corruptions in other countries and in other people if these people comes under the microscope then it might become a different story. But alas they are so blind to see that.
In John Wooden words" It is better to be concerned with your character than reputation . Character is your strength your integrity it is who you are while reputation is what other people think of you it comes from their insecurities and ignorance" You cannot change others .
Everybody's experience in life is different with my experience I see people with values and integrity are silently tolerating the pain and anguish of the other group who are shamelessly beating the drums of their insecurities and arrogance without even having a little bit of realisation.
Ethics is not only a simple word nor it is a skill that can be taught or delivered.
It is simply a character and traits of this character comes from your own wisdom. Ethics cannot be taught nor it can be learned in one webex. But here in every organisation people gives priorities to the subjects and treat it like a skill. Ethics comes from your internal growth and from several factors.
So we can ask how ethics and integrities are higher on some people and none in others.
It comes from your values and principles, how you are raised and it starts from your parental upbringings. It does not belong to people with higher educational certificates nor to people with lavish lifestyle. It is the internal growth of a human being and it completely belong to the individual.
Having a training on the subject or giving a lecture on it will not strengthen it. Ethics and compliance are related like rights and wrong. So we can say if your organisation have really ethical people which is rare you do not have to be very cautious. But alas that is really rare . Even though we are very actively trying to find faults in other countries other race other individual in the name of compliance and investigation if the same person comes under the microscope he will have multiple discrepancies.
But it is very normal and natural none want to see that. Moral integrity and ethics are not teachable nor can be learned by doing an assessment it is the values and principles you have while you are raised. Family background and not educational background is helpful here. Education can polish it up but cannot create it. You learn what you see while growing up as a child. That is why we can see lots of people with less privileges have integrity and honesty while the richer one needs training on that through white paper or webex.
Since everybody's personal experience is different in life I can say in my work experience I have seen people with integrity are quiet now days tolerating the pain anguish and the atrocities quietly. Their values and principles are not allowing them to be aggressively shameless and insecure . It is a shame and facade that the other force is so ignorant that they do not even a grasp the idea of the reality. They are beating the drums and music of their insecurities and ignorance lies and treachery with a big smile and gala.
