Some people see the world in black and white, and for many others there are varying shades of gray in between.
Everyone is pretty clear on some things that are right or wrong, like murder is wrong, bank robbery is wrong etc. But there are many things that people have their own standards on, their own beliefs and perceptions, similar to the belief someone might have about whether or not to return found money, or extra change given in a transaction etc. Some see it as a gift in some providential way, others as something that doesn't belong to them, with still others anywhere in between.
Applying this idea to business, where do you draw the line? What is most important to you to either maintain or never to allow? For example, every one agrees there are many write offs we can take on our taxes. Is there something you might know someone else deducted that you would not, or vice versa based on your own belief or standard? I'm talking fudging, or at least perceived fudging.
Once you identify where you draw the line for yourself and your business, how does this choice impact your results? Does your choice augment your business or is it an obstacle of sorts to work through or around? (Whether positive or negative, it doesn't matter)
Simply stated, what's an example of black, gray or white, and how does it make a difference for you?
