Stop at 5: 42 4 Years = Internalized Standards ● Has living honorably become “truly irreversible” for you?

After the Citadel Once we graduate, the Honor Code doesn’t apply. What is your reason not to lie, cheat, or steal after graduation? Discuss

Practically Speaking. . . Why would you want to keep living honorably? ● Trust ○ Good leader ○ Good subordinate Discuss

We know what an honor violation is. . . Don’t “lie, cheat, or steal” ● Dishonorable actions What are the opposite of each of these actions?

The opposite of these actions: Lying = Being honest Stealing = Giving Cheating = Helping Example: honor is not “not cheating”

Situation Give an example of something that is not an Honor Violation but lowers trust. After graduation, this is the standard

“Honor Violation” in the Workplace Imagine your coworker helped you create a briefing on your company’s sales from the last quarter. After the presentation, your boss approached you to let you know your work was good. You take all of the credit, wanting to impress your new boss.

“Honor Violation” in the Workplace An example of “cheating” in the workplace may be: Not giving credit to somebody who helped you with your job.

Honor in the Workplace So if that isn’t what honor looks like, what is? Imagine the previous situation. What is an example of an honorable response to your boss?

After Graduation After graduation, the standard is trust: People being able to trust you because they know that your word will be honest This is a much higher standard than “not making an official statement”

After Graduation In the workforce: Lying could be not ensuring the information you report is valid and accurate. Stealing could be taking advantage of a company credit card for personal finances.

General Mc. Chrystal on Credibility CREDIBILITY = PROVEN COMPETENCE + RELATIONSHIPS + INTEGRITY You can improve your credibility by doing these three things

What does it mean to be a person of your word? People know you will do what you say

Dishonesty = Losing credibility = Having to prove truth Credibility is hard to gain back

Final Thoughts Why do we practice living under an honor code for four years? ● People of our word ● Higher Standard ● Learning to live under the “spirit” of the code

Why is honor important? Living under the spirit of the code helps build all relationships: ● Familial ● Marital ● Friendships ● Leader-led ● Business-customer ● Boss-employee
