Non Negotiable Ethics



"Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral laws are written on the table of eternity."

Lord Acton
19th century English historian

There is a tendency in some to see ethics and morals in the context of time and circumstance; however what is and isn't ethical and moral is not negotiable.

If you manage things and/or people, before you act, first ask yourself, "Is this right?"

If you cannot answer "yes", and you consider yourself a just person, don't do it.

  1. You make it sound so simple. I wish it were. Unfortunately there are gray areas. Have you ever compromised on your ethics?
