Can You Really Apply the "Golden Rule" to Your Business?
One of the fundamental life principles that many people teach their children is the "Golden Rule." This age old philosophy tells us that we should treat others as would like to be treated. This makes perfect sense, right? It is a strict and intuitive moral code that is actually written into our very being. However, it is shocking how few people actually take these words to heart in everyday living, especially as it pertains to business.
This concept should be of utmost importance to us all entrepreneurs because it is so easy to take shortcuts to success. It is easy to have a momentary lapse in judgment and abate our inherent knowledge of the "Golden Rule." This should be avoided at all costs. Now, let me be clear on this point. I am fully aware that not one of us is perfect. But I am not talking about some high minded and ideological concepts. This concept is near to all of us an can easily find application in our every day affairs.
Absolutely no one benefits (in the long term) from shady business practices, lies, deception and greed. There may be some short-term gain but I guarantee people or companies that build on this type of a foundation are doomed to failure. Do Enron and WorldComm ring a bell?
In making business decisions the "Golden Rule" also has extensive room for application. If what you are deciding to causes unnecessary damage to another person in any way then that course of action should probably be avoided.
I understand that some circumstances are less "black and white" than others but the point is to do the best you can.
When you treat others right, others treat you right. Sadly, it seems that people are so used to being suspicious of one another these days that when you do treat people well you stick out like a sore thumb. But that is the kind of attention that you want to have, isn't it?
