Guiding Principles: Now that we have looked at morals and ethics, lets delve into guiding principles.
A few companies that I have worked for have used this expression to guide their framework for decision making. They had a list of the guiding principles that were most valued to the owners/management.
These guiding principles also assisted them during the hiring process.
A majority of information on guiding principles is more geared towards business and making business decisions…but what if we utilized the strategies in our personal life when making decisions?
However, I did find some for families!

You can find a whole bunch of information on individual companies guiding principles online as well. Many have made them public as they would with their mission or vision statement, etc., which I think is a good thing.
Questions to Ponder:
What would you say are your guiding principles?
What are your top 3?
Are you teaching these to your kids?
Does your business have guiding principles?
