Campbell's Laws on Professional Ethics
- To have integrity means to do the what's right because its the right
thing to do, not because of any reward or punishment.
- A decrease in budget does not mean a decrease in quality of service.
- Too much productivity is wasted worrying what others think, or do.
- If you can't say it to their face, shut up.
- Always strive to improve yourself.
- Unlike when you're in school, there are no 80% days.
- When things go wrong, take charge! Take responsibility! Make the tough
decicisions!
- If you don't think you're good enough, you're not.
- The job comes first, make friends on your own time.
- The most important person you have to answer to is yourself.
- There are no half-measures or shortcuts to a job well done
- Always admit when you're wrong.
- Irresponsible is defined as an irrational need to make excuses and
blame others.
- Learn to pick your battles wisely.
- Any organization that does not communicate effectively is not working
at its full potential and is wasting it's resources.
- A job is more than a paycheck and benefits, if you don't also love
what you do, you are forcing yourself and others to put up with mediocrity.
- Solve the problem.
- Dressing the part does increase your confidence.
- Attitude really does speak volumes.
- Remember, you are not expected to be perfect, but you are expected to
give your best each and every day.
