Doing the right thing can be hard if it is going to cost you money, or set you back, or if you have to take responsibility for what a team member did.
But if you come to understand the world will never be perfect, (you try to make it close!) and pre-determine to live by a code of values and standards, it makes it much easier.
When you do the right thing, the angels are watching. People notice. They start to comment, and they start to trust you. Because of that trust, things get easier. People don’t have their guard up so much. Your reputation gets around. You get opportunities.
Challenges still come along. That’s life as a leader. Difficult decisions still have to be made. Especially since you are growing and pushing forward.
Keep doing the right things. Keep doing right by people.
Because by doing right by people, you are doing right by you.
The long game = gods work, sounds good to me!
Happy Birthday to both of them. It’s amazing that they shared the same birth date. It’s as it was meant to be!
Amen to doing the right thing.
(Go, Jenna!)
Yes!
I needed this message today. Thank you.
We need to look at “doing the right thing” as a marketing opportunity and a marketing expense. Don’t look at it as a hit to your bottom line (even though it may be in the short term). Look at it as an investment in your business reputation. Our reputation is the best marking asset we can have. When people trust us they will hire us, even if the price is a little higher. However, we have to continually earn that trust and we do that by spending whatever is necessary to right any wrongs. It may well hurt in the short run but will pay off in the end. If nothing else you will be happy you did the right thing!
