CAI-NJ TEAM

T his month’s theme is “Ethics.” The simple definition of ethics is, DOING THE RIGHT THING . Every day we are faced to make decisions, both at home and at work, that are based around ethics. Throughout our lives we all get asked, “What do you do for a living?” For Property Managers, when you reply to this question, the simple answer we do EVERYTHING ! Not only are we responsible for maintaining the building as a valuable asset for your organization but you are responsible for the lives of all that enter its doors. When you are hired by your employer you are expected to do the right thing and rep- resent your company fully. As you evolve in your role as a manager you deal with legal matters, confidential information, insurance issues, personnel issues, ADR, construction defects and much more. Things can sometimes get a little convoluted, your unique ethics determine how you handle certain situations. One thing remains steadfast; remain true to your personal and professional ethics. Examples of personal ethics: • Honesty • Respect • Loyalty • Selflessness • Integrity • Responsibility “If you set a good example, you need not worry about setting rules.” —Lee Iacocca Each month I am going to be highlighting one person in our chapter who had a huge impact on my life both professionally and personally.
