No person or document can tell you what is right or wrong in every situation. If you are ever in doubt, ask yourself:
- Is this legal? Have I checked with the agency’s subject matter expert?
- Would it conflict with any of my State Governmental Unit’s, or the State’s core values or mission?
- Am I involving the right people?
- How would I feel telling my family or children about my decision?
- If I choose to act on this situation, would my decision by fair?
- How would I feel reading about my choice in a newspaper, or explaining my choice to a judge or jury?
- If you know it is wrong, don't do it.
- If in doubt, ASK.
- Keep asking until you get an answer.
- Don't ignore what you believe to be illegal or unethical conduct.
- Set an example for others.
- Take responsibility by DOING THE RIGHT THING. For managers, this includes cultivating an environment to DO THE RIGHT THING.
