| 10. | Never lie. Period. | ||
| 9. | Really listen to people, paraphrasing what you think you hear, in order to check your understanding. | ||
| 8. | Accept personal responsibility for all of your feelings, especially negative ones. No one "makes me feel" anything. | ||
| 7. | Don't talk about people behind their backs. What 'goes around' actually does eventually 'come around'. | ||
| 6. | Don't spread rumours, if you can possibly avoid it. If you must check it out, try to get to the source first. | ||
| 5. | Refrain from, and/or respectfully confront, any and all disrespectful and inappropriate jokes, gossip, plots and conspiracies, formal or informal. There is almost always someone nearby who will appreciate it. | ||
| 4. | Catch people being nice, and/or doing good work, and call them on it. | ||
| 3. | If wronged, avoid the temptation to seek revenge, especially through hurtful anger. It really does hurt you more than it hurts others. | ||
| 2. | Don't hold grudges. They don't look good on you. | ||
| And, the Number One way to become someone you would respect and admire at work... | |||
| 1. | Accept responsibility for your words and actions, especially your mistakes. ("Personal power means never fearing to say you're sorry.") | ||
