Lead by Example – Be honest in everything that you do; people notice and respect honesty and respect.
Communicate your concerns – If you see something that seems unethical, talk to your superiors about it, and do not stay silent. Most illegal and/or ethical problems are allowed to continue because those who know about don’t make a stand and stop it.
Treat everyone with fairness and respect – this isn’t just the right thing to do, you never know when someone you treated well will become a resource in a time of need.
Reward ethical decisions – recognize when an ethical decision is made, and show it as a positive example of good work in action.
