Trustworthiness Honesty
It concerns a variety of behavior qualities,
such as honesty, integrity, reliability, and
loyalty.

Honesty
Is the most fundamental ethical value. We
associate honesty with people of honor. We
also admire and trust those who are honest.

Honesty in communication
It refers to the intent to convey the truth as
best as we know it to avoid communication
that is likely to mislead or deceive. Honesty in communication

Reliability
Avoid unwise commitments
Before making a promise, consider carefully whether you
are willing and likely to keep it. Think about the unknown
or future events that can make it difficult, undesirable,
or impossible for your commitments to keep.
Occasionally, all we can do is promise to do our best.

Avoid unclear commitments

Considering that others will expect you to live up
to what they think you have promised, be sure
that the other person understands what you
are committing when you make a promise.

Respect
Respect is about honoring the essential
worth and dignity of all people, including
oneself. We are morally obliged to treat
everyone with respect, regardless of who
they are and what they have done. We have
a responsibility to be the best version we
can be in all situations, even when dealing
with unpleasant people.

Respect focuses on the following:

Civility, Courtesy, and Decency Pursuit of Excellence

Tolerance Diligence
Responsibility Perseverance
Accountability Continuous Improvement
Self-Restraint
Fairness
Fairness is a tricky concept. Disagreeing parties tend to indicate that only one is in a fair position,
that is, their own. However, several situations and decisions are unfair, and fairness generally
refers to a range of morally justifiable outcomes instead of the discovery of one fair answer.
