December 3: Here Are Eight Reasons Why We Struggle To Maintain Our Ethical Edge: 1. A belief that, to meet a specific deadline or a performance goal, some corners must be cut; 2. A lack of resources (human or otherwise) or time needed to accomplish a particular task, thereby necessitating some drastic or improper action; 3. Peer pressure; 4. Pressures from higher up the chain of command to produce and to get the job done no matter what; 5. A belief that the decision or act is not really illegal or unethical; 6. A belief that the decision or act is in the individuals or the organizations best interest and thus would be condoned by others; 7. A belief that the decision or act will never be discovered; and 8. Fear of authority. Keep in mind that God, in His sovereignty has placed you in your situation to demonstrate His character to people in desperate need of a model. Jobs intense announcement of his determination to maintain his integrity should serve as an encouragement: As long as I have life within me, the breath of God in my nostrils, my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will utter no deceit...till I die I will not deny my integrity. I will maintain my righteousness and never let go of it. (Job 27:3-6) —Facts of the Matter
