Managerial Ethics

Remember, as a manager in your

organization, how you behave and
communicate is the basis on which
others will judge you. If you act
ethically and require the same of
others, you represent your company
well and position yourself as
someone your employees can
respect. There is no better way to
attract and retain good employees
than to have the respect of those you
interact with every day.
