In this episode of Career on Course, Scott Jeffrey Miller shares about the importance of character and the reality of how it can affect your standing within your company.
Best Moments:
(01:39) Most people don't get fired for being thieves or pathological liars, but rather for lowering their standards, feeling entitled, and taking liberties
(02:07) It's easy to justify things like putting a small personal purchase on a company card, but these behaviors WILL snowball over time
(02:31) We all make mistakes, but you need to check yourself when you start justifying inappropriate actions
(03:35) Surround yourself with ethical people to raise your own standards for behavior
(04:01) "If you don't wanna find yourself in a situation of getting fired because you have low character, constantly ask yourself, is there a chance I am justifying this? Am I breaking the rules?"
