Self-evaluation is a critical component of business ethics. People should spend as much time looking in the mirror as they do watching and judging the behavior of others. Periodically examine and reflect on your own behaviors to ensure you are staying on the ethical track.
Use the following ethics self-assessment as a guide to identifying your integrity strengths and the areas you need to work on.
