Reputation and Character Matter
© 2015 Ethical Leaders in Action© 2015 Ethical Leaders in Action
• How do you see yourself?
• How do you want to be known by others?
• What do your actions say about your city, agency or firm?
![Page 12: Ethics and Professionalism - CEAMD96B0887-4D81... · Professionalism • Knowledge and competence • Objectivity • Commitment to public service • Professional bearing and presence](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043010/5fa1c7b5c934f75d2e3d7291/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

the same principles to everyone.

Respect: Principles to Consider
• Never confuse respect with admiration or affection. Everyone is entitled to respect.
• People are subjects, not objects.• Treat people as bearers of ends, not
merely as means to our ends. (Kant)• Platinum is more precious than gold.
Treat people as they wish to be treated (not merely as we would wish for them).
