Food for thought: Maintaining the cleanliness of the workplace is a reflection of exceptional work. The workplace is a place (mentally and physically) where work is produced. Exceptional work is based upon relationships that are ethical.
How do we determine if our work exceptional?
How do we de relationships are ethical?
Let’s define the word “ETHICS.”
Ethics can be defined as rules of conduct that GUIDE and GOVERN the actions of an organization and those individuals who are in relationship with the organization. Ethics are built upon principles. Principles are the “first things” needed in the building of ANY structure whether we are referring to a physical building or our individual lives.
Wisdom Key: If we are in relationship with someone or something we do not visit their facility (or house) bringing extra garbage nor do we leave someone’s house without picking up after ourselves. This type of act can be considered as unethical.
Our work must be exceptional and our relationships must be ethical.
Whether we anticipate having expected or unexpected company our workplace (mentally and physically) is reflection of who we are and what our lives are built upon (PRINCIPLES). Our workplace should be clean because of the habits that have been formed from the daily exercise of ethical conduct. In retrospect, ethical conduct has become our first nature because we have replaced old habits with new habits. The replacement of the old with the new is revealed through the rules of conduct that guide and govern our actions.
Cleaning is not a chore, cleaning is a way of life. ~ Marcus Cage
