So you’ve completed your workplace investigation and it’s time to pull all the information and evidence together to draw a conclusion and make a decision about what happened. But that’s not all; you will also want to find out why the misconduct occurred so that you can put into place measures to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Do you know where to start?

Do the Right Thing 10 Rules for Leading Ethically [email protected]
It's been all too easy to criticize the unethical behaviors of business and political leaders these days.
But if your company isn't among those generating scandal and scorn, consider yourself warned.
Lapses in ethical judgment occur every day in our organizations and, likely, in our private lives.
Ethical leadership isn't about avoiding the worst behaviors. It isn't about technically following laws
and regulations. Ethics determines fair and honest behavior and establishes boundaries about how
we relate to each other. In that sense, the only way for people to work well together, and to have
good professional and personal relationships, is to think and act in an ethical way."
To reclaim ethical leadership for yourself & your organization -> Rules for Ethical Leadership
1. The rule of mindfulness. Pay attention! Mindfulness means being attuned to what is going on
and then reflecting (without judgment) on the impact your decisions have on others.
Organizational mindfulness requires connecting mindful people together to help others in the
organization achieve greater congruence between their intentions and outcomes.
2. The rule of respecting others. Recognize and reward the positive intent of others in their
actions. It helps create a culture of appreciation and encourages support. But don't leave out
self-respect. It is true that you must respect yourself before others can respect you.
3. The rule of engagement. Take the high ground. Understand the limitations, strengths and
circumstances under which you initiate and manage your interactions with others. Engage
others by being prepared, polite and positive.
4. The rule of wisdom. Let your wisdom govern your actions and decisions. Wisdom is the ability
to discern or judge what is true, right or lasting. Sometimes, it is merely common sense and
good judgment, blended with a smart plan and clear course of action. Wisdom is usually
considered to be a trait that can be developed through experience but not taught.
5. The rule of action. Respond in a timely way to any unethical behavior you observe or receive
information about. Stop any inappropriate activity and rectify the situation immediately. Action
requires clear intention. Knowing why you are taking action is a considered response rather than
a reaction.
6. The rule of power. Know your power and use it well. Power is a person's ability to influence
others. Through influence, you spread ideas, set direction, make choices and guide outcomes.
All these require accountability and honesty.
7. The rule of dialogue. Talk about ethics and keep the conversation going. Encourage people to
understand the full meaning of ethics by talking about it in staff meetings and other work-
related areas. Create ongoing communication, ...

These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes.

The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
