Some people in business think that if you have personal integrity, then
little else matters at all. Alan K. Simpson once said that if you have
integrity, nothing else matters, and that if you don't have integrity, then
nothing else matters.
There
are many aspects of a business that are deemed important, some which involve
the core morals of the firm, and some which involve the actions
of the firm. Precisely what they do and precisely what they believe. But
it's also important to understand that the attributes of the company leader
account to a lot of the credibility of the firm. If you were asked
what attribute is the most important, integral, in
the business world, and what a tribute contributes mostly to success,
what would you say? Entrepreneurs would likely say persistence and
determination - but it can be easily argued that personal integrity is more
important than all of that. The most distinguishing quality, certainly, is
integrity. Without this a tribute at the helm of a firm, the
firm more often than not proves to be incredibly short lived.
When personal integrity is utilised in a firm, and present within the
deepest layers of the firm (and not just as a front guised to attract
customers), then it becomes the very soul of the culture of the company, and
can could very well make the difference between a successful company
and a company that falls short.
The importance of integrity has always been present within the business
extended community, and in recent times it seems to have fallen short. The fact
that the Internet's marketplace has expanded so much, it has seen that the
expression of integrity, credibility and indeed reliability have all
become more important. As there are more options, more businesses to
choose from amongst the vast expanse of the Internet - customers will not
purchase either a good or a service from anybody who do not show at
the very least a satisfactory level of integrity. And in fact, most will go
with the business they find have the very highest level of integrity. Die to
the sheer wealth of other competitors in any market (unless of course we're
talking about a niche market, where your business has the first mover
advantage), there is no longer any need to accept anything less than the very
highest standards of personal integrity within your business.
This could be difficult - but to not act on something as important as
this, could well mean your down fall. So how do you start implementing personal
integrity? Well, in the effort to build upon an expected, already minimum level
of integrity - the first major requirement would be to create an
incredibly good rapport with your clients. Extensive amounts of study have
shown that the best of method of establishing good rapport within your
company is through the use of 'Relationship Marketing'. Relationship marketing
is founded precisely on integrity, achieving the attribute wholly and
in depth.
For example, Datuk
Jimmy Choo. Jimmy Choo name is synonymous with exclusive and stylish shoes. He
is not just a shoe designer, but also a skilled craftsman who makes shoes and
specialize in producing artistic results. He was inspired and inspiring designs
from nature such as trees and flowers and also of the environment such as
interior decoration in places he visited. He was very thorough in shoe molding
comprising the upper, and heel shoe designs balanced to ensure that the shoe
wearer feel comfortable and safe even wearing high heeled shoes.
Honoured with the title 'Datuk' by
the Sultan of Pahang on its success in the field of fashion. Awarded the title
of 'Professor' by the University of the Arts London for his contribution in the
field of fashion. Then, Is the first Malaysian to be awarded the "Order of
the British Empire" OBE (Knighthood) by the Queen of England, Queen
Elizabeth II in 2002. Lap conferred the State Secretariat of the Speaker of the
State of Penang which also carries the title Dato '.
Datuk Jimmy Choo, was known by world
and he is also was longer in shoes industries. On top of that, people trust
with his talented in shoes industries. In that case, influence from character
integrity and reliability strong in his business.
Conclusion, an entrepreneur need to
build a positive character in their business if want keep progressive.
