6. Video: Honor outside of The Citadel

7. Discuss the Video Stop video at 5:02
For four years, we have been trained under a standard.
“A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

8. Honor Code = The Standard
What is the point of this standard?

9. Video: Honor outside of The Citadel Play the video from previously stopped point to 5:42

10. Stop at 5:42
4 Years = Internalized Standards
Has living honorably become “truly irreversible” for you?

11. After the Citadel Once we graduate, the Honor Code doesn’t apply.
What is your reason not to lie, cheat, or steal after graduation?
Discuss

12. Practically Speaking... Why would you want to keep living honorably?
Trust
Good leader
Good subordinate
Discuss

13. We know what an honor violation is...
Don’t “lie, cheat, or steal”
Dishonorable actions
What are the opposite of each of these actions?

14. The opposite of these actions:
Lying = Being honest
Stealing = Giving
Cheating = Helping
Example: honor is not “not cheating”

15. Situation
Give an example of something that is not an Honor Violation but lowers trust.
After graduation, this is the standard

16. “Honor Violation” in the Workplace
Imagine your coworker helped you create a briefing on your company’s sales from the last quarter.
After the presentation, your boss approached you to let you know your work was good.
You take all of the credit, wanting to impress your new boss.

17. “Honor Violation” in the Workplace
An example of “cheating” in the workplace may be:
Not giving credit to somebody who helped you with your job.

18. Honor in the Workplace
So if that isn’t what honor looks like, what is?
Imagine the previous situation.
What is an example of an honorable response to your boss?

19. After Graduation After graduation, the standard is trust:
People being able to trust you because they know that your word will be honest
This is a much higher standard than “not making an official statement”

20. After Graduation In the workforce:
Lying could be not ensuring the information you report is valid and accurate.
Stealing could be taking advantage of a company credit card for personal finances.

21. General McChrystal on Credibility
PROVEN COMPETENCE + RELATIONSHIPS + INTEGRITY
You can improve your credibility by doing these three things

22. What does it mean to be a person of your word?
People know you will do what you say

23. Dishonesty = Losing credibility
Losing credibility = Having to prove truth
Credibility is hard to gain back

24. Final Thoughts
Why do we practice living under an honor code for four years?
People of our word
Higher Standard
Learning to live under the “spirit” of the code

25. Why is honor important?
Living under the spirit of the code helps build all relationships:
Familial
Marital
Friendships
Leader-led
Business-customer
Boss-employee
Trust is foundational
