Test yourself - Here are 10 questions to rank your own integrity:

As a famous athlete, you are offered a $500,000 endorsement to promote a product that you dislike and would NEVER use. Do you endorse it?
You are working on a project along with several other companies and you notice that one of the companies is doing shoddy, dangerous work. If you report the company, the entire project may be shut down and you will lose 20% of your revenues for the year. Do you report the problem?
The taxi driver gives you a blank receipt as he drops you off. You are on an expense account. Do you write in the exact correct amount?
You're backing into a tight parking space in the work car park and you accidentally dent someone's car. Nobody has seen you. Do you leave a note taking responsibility?
A colleague wants to copy some music CDs. You know it's illegal. Do you do it?
You know you are attractive and so does your prospective customer. Do you lightly flirt to get a major new account for your business?
A good friend has been unemployed for several months. They ask you to write a reference for a job that you don't think they're well qualified for. Do you agree?
You see some great content for a presentation, you know it is copyright - do you use it in your work presentation to make you look good?
Your budgets are tight, you procure some business services, the vendor forgets to invoice you... Six months go by, do you remind them to send the invoice.
You are offered tickets to a rock concert with a potential supplier that is currently tendering for a big contract. It is your favourite band and you really want to see them - and tickets have been sold out for months. You know it will not influence your contribution to the tender process. Do you go?

How did you go...? Do you think there is ‘grey'? Did you find this not so easy after all? Someone once said to me "how many drops of urine does it take to spoil the soup?" I've never forgotten it. (A bit to vivid really.)

Of course

You are working on a project along with several other companies and you notice that one of the companies is doing shoddy, dangerous work. If you report the company, the entire project may be shut down and you will lose 20% of your revenues for the year. Do you report the problem?

Of course not

The taxi driver gives you a blank receipt as he drops you off. You are on an expense account. Do you write in the exact correct amount?

Just for a taxi might as well yeah

You're backing into a tight parking space in the work car park and you accidentally dent someone's car. Nobody has seen you. Do you leave a note taking responsibility?

Depends how bad it is

A colleague wants to copy some music CDs. You know it's illegal. Do you do it?

Sure

You see some great content for a presentation, you know it is copyright - do you use it in your work presentation to make you look good?

Nah not worth it

Your budgets are tight, you procure some business services, the vendor forgets to invoice you... Six months go by, do you remind them to send the invoice.

Hmm probably not, it's their responsibility

You are offered tickets to a rock concert with a potential supplier that is currently tendering for a big contract. It is your favourite band and you really want to see them - and tickets have been sold out for months. You know it will not influence your contribution to the tender process. Do you go?

No - If you're that famous you could pick something you did like.

You are working on a project along with several other companies and you notice that one of the companies is doing shoddy, dangerous work. If you report the company, the entire project may be shut down and you will lose 20% of your revenues for the year. Do you report the problem?

If it was a one-off deal, then no, but if this was an on-going contract leading to many years work and potentially damaging my reputation, then yes.

The taxi driver gives you a blank receipt as he drops you off. You are on an expense account. Do you write in the exact correct amount?


Not really worth it for £10. If you have an expense account you're not going to be earning minimum wage.

You're backing into a tight parking space in the work car park and you accidentally dent someone's car. Nobody has seen you. Do you leave a note taking responsibility?

Yes.

A colleague wants to copy some music CDs. You know it's illegal. Do you do it?

Yes.

You know you are attractive and so does your prospective customer. Do you lightly flirt to get a major new account for your business?

Yes.

A good friend has been unemployed for several months. They ask you to write a reference for a job that you don't think they're well qualified for. Do you agree?

Yes. I'm not offering them the job, and how would I know what my friend is capable of in the work place?

You see some great content for a presentation, you know it is copyright - do you use it in your work presentation to make you look good?

No.

Your budgets are tight, you procure some business services, the vendor forgets to invoice you... Six months go by, do you remind them to send the invoice.

Absolutely not.

You are offered tickets to a rock concert with a potential supplier that is currently tendering for a big contract. It is your favourite band and you really want to see them - and tickets have been sold out for months. You know it will not influence your contribution to the tender process. Do you

Yes.
