These particular ideals caught my attention because they state EXACTLY what I want my employees and I to do when I open my own daycare. I couldn't have said it better myself. These are the ideals I want to incorporate into my professional life when that time comes. I tried to practice these same ideals when I worked at Starfish Family Services. Just because I wasn't the CEO didn't mean that I couldn't exercise these same ideals in my professional life at that time. They are relevant in all cases...
DEC
Professional and Interpersonal Behavior:
We shall demonstrate the highest standards of personal integrity, truthfulness, and honesty in all our professional activities in order to inspire the trust and confidence of the children and families and of those with whom we work.
That is it right there. I am sooooo big on integrity, truthfulness and honesty, especially when it comes to my babies. I do not play with that. I have worked in a few places where those things did not take place. All the "big people" cared about was getting the biggest paycheck possible. They did not have the children NOR THE ORGANIZATION/CORPORATION'S best interest at heart. And they would lie in order to get certain positions or bonuses (yes I am calling them out!). So with that being said, I do not plan to do that just so I can reap all the benefits. I truly believe we are being watched by God and I believe that if I do everything right in my organization with integrity, truthfulness and honesty, then He will bless me AND MY ORGANIZATION a great deal. That is from the heart...

Girl we will must talk you couldn't have said that any better. Excuse me for saying girl I know you are a grown woman but I had to go there for a min..lol. So true you are EXACTLY RIGHT and you forgot the big people are the ones not physically having to deal with the irate parents or children, but can sit and assume that the parents are absolutely correct that's one of the reasons, I had to step out on faith and start my own business because I got tired of unfair things and just plan stupidity. But one thing I can say my workers Thank God they always say Ms. Jones we thankful for you because I don't harrass them I know every body has problems and I try my best to be fair and talk to them the help me out a lot we are a team and I couldn't ask for better people to work with me I not the boss I"m just a blessing from God trying to help everyone make it to the same level at the same time focusing on the children. Wonderful post:-)
ReplyDeleteI got excited when you said some of those things that struck a nerve and push a button. Sorry for the run on sentences.
