On his way to work, a dear young friend of mine takes the following pledge every day:
Today,
- I will use my knowledge, skill, abilities, and time at workplace, fully and exclusively, for the attainment of organizational goals.
- I will not violate any company policy – in letter or in spirit.
- I will strive to excel and produce quality work – on time, every time.
- I will act confidently, boosted by my commitment to accomplish the mission of the organization; limited by knowledge that every day is a new day and yesterday’s good work will not save me from the consequences of today’s mistakes.
- I will not hesitate to forgo my comforts in furtherance of organizational goals.
- And, I will not compromise my values.
In which direction, do you think, is his career headed?
