The same thing goes for rules, policies and procedures you know, the organization's 'internal laws.' You can 'go by the book' and still behave unethically. Still not move beyond mediocrity. High standardsthe ethics of excellencecome to life through your basic values, your character, integrity and honesty. Obeying the law is the bare minimum.
