Ethics and your values

Ethics is not abstract. Three secrets on what it looks like in practice: the Quality Ladder that pairs six levels of quality work with six kinds of ethics, the egg symbol and the law of polarity that hold an outer process to an inner one, and the eight ethical models you can recognise yourself in.

The egg symbol, the polarity model — the soul space in the green here-and-now belt between the height of the Ego above and the depth of the Self below

The case

Human desire

SGL: “Ethics is to fulfill norms and community values which must be complied to achieve what we want.”

Human desire is the driver of human existence — the desire and need for basic goods such as water and food, warmth and protection, relationships and things, power and wealth. In order to control “desire,” man is from the beginning equipped with an inner voice, or what we call conscience. That interaction of different voices in turn created different ethical models, while common sense and religious life created moral rules for human interaction — all of it, for hundreds of years, surrounded by legislation meant to protect the community’s interests.

Remember: “You never reach higher than you go within yourself.”

A square nobody owns and everybody crosses

The community whose values the paragraph above speaks of — where a leader must show the way towards common goals and success, in a diversity of voices, ethics, morality and law.
