I have a little post-it note next to my mirror that says "what matters most?" reminding me to put the important thing first even when it may be hard. Being an ethical leader, all comes down to what you value and what is most important to you. It is crucial to be consistent. From group to group that a person may be involved in, consistency is key. I've had a lot of great examples in my life of ethical leaders, all of whom have created a sort of personal code of ethics and have been able to lead by following that.
I've had trouble writing this blog post for almost a week now. I keep coming to it to finish it but then I put it in drafts and try to come back to it. I think what I'm struggling with is making the perfect "Personal Code of Ethics". There are so many things that are important to me but it's really simple. I know the things that matter MOST and I need to be loyal to those values which I truly cherish most. I don't want to write about what should matter most to me, or what I want to work harder on staying true to. I think I need to just be completely honest and write about what in my life I stand for and what I want to continue to stand for.
This Code of Ethics I promise myself to be true to. In situations where they are tested I will stand unwavering in. These are important to me in my personal life, social mannerisms, and spiritual growth. With this code of ethics I hope to become a better leader and friend to those around me.
Personal Code of Ethics
Family - I want to be first are foremost loyal to my family. Love my sisters, cherish my parents, and cling to them when I am going to trials.
Excellence - In striving for excellence I can become accomplished and valued. I hope by working toward excellence people will see me as a hard-worker and someone who can be an example and leader.
Integrity - I want to have integrity in every aspect of my life so that I can be the best I can be. I know that as a Woman of Integrity I will be a better friend, sister, daughter, and one day wife and mother. As I strive to have integrity, the more trustworthy I'll become.
Service - The more giving and selfless I am, the more I will be blessed. I want to give service my entire life. I know that it's a commandment and because I have been given much I too must give. I have every ability and ambition to give service and that is the kind of person and leader I want to be.
Happiness - Since I was young I have always been a happy person and I know that there is a silver-lining in everything. I want to help others see the beauty of situations and dwell not on their doubts and insecurities.
Obedience - Obedience, like integrity is something that is a personal decision. Other people may not have a huge say in the decision and only you can control it personally, to have the most desirable outcome.
Tenacity - In my life I face problems sometimes thinking "I'm not good enough" and it's not true. In being tenacious it will keep me persisting and continuing in determination. This is one thing that I need to be most aware of. That I am capable of so much and I can do anything through my faith and devotion to Christ, our Savior.
