Honesty and Business Ethics

 Honesty and Business Ethics

    Through this week's reading and study, I was able to find some insight into the process of developing a company and or working with others for the greater good of the establishment we are working for. I really enjoyed listening to the talk by Elder Lynn G. Robbins. It was interesting because as he began to further explain the "grade process" of making a living, I tied the primary and secondary motivations to my stars and steppingstones (the assignment from last week). What I got out of his talk was the importance of constantly checking your priorities to ensure that you are keeping your motivations in check with your calling. 

    Another point I enjoyed from this week's study was the presentation Frank Levinson gave. One particular topic he touched on was involving your family in some of your work. He gave an example of when he had a lot to do for work on Christmas Eve, so he got his family together and took them to the office and everyone helped get stuff done. Obviously, it wasn't anything crazy but I appreciate the idea of showing your kids what you do for work and how they can some way be involved.  I remember going to my dad's office from time to time growing up and really appreciating the time I got to spend with him there. I felt closer to my dad in a way. 

    The last point I got out of this week's study was from Sister Sheri L. Dew's devotional. She emphasized the importance of trust in ANY type of relationship and how nobody wants to be led by a liar. In order to gain trust within any relationship, there needs to be a sense of respect coming from you and hopefully it is recipricated on the other end.
