VALUES - These social principles help to create society's laws and a company's policies and procedures. In turn, laws and policies reinforce the values. One example of values in operation is to ask yourself: "Does the action I'm considering follow not only the letter of the law, but also the 'spirit' of the law?" Is your action in ________ (10) with the overall purpose of a law or rule? Or are you attempting to find a loophole?

CONSCIENCE - This internal ________ (11) of right and wrong develops from an early age. Your conscience recognizes certain principles that lead to feelings of guilt if you violate the principles. Will your actions make you feel guilty? Can you truly justify your actions?

PROMISES - Business is based upon trust. It is the belief that what is stated will be delivered. Will your action live up to the commitment that you made to the other person (customer, client, supplier, employee, employer) in the business ________ (12)? Will your action build more trust?

HEROES - Every person has at least one individual who is a ________ (13) in some way. A hero may be a parent, teacher, coach, mentor or friend. Is your action what your hero would do in the same situation? How would your hero act?
