Trust, Loyalty and Solidarity are outlined as three pillars that hold up an ethical community. Trust is essential as it forms a bond between individuals allowing the felt sense of members behaving ethically towards them. Second, loyalty establishes the feeling of acceptance of others. Lastly, solidarity demonstrates the care espoused from individuals towards other individuals.
My organization fosters an environment along
these pillars as well. Trust is essential and needs to be established and
maintain before we set off on any mission. If there is any breakdown in trust
it could have significant drawbacks down the road. As far as loyalty goes, it
is most relevant within the lower levels in smaller teams and units. It is common
to have competitions between other units or teams which help to maintain the
bonds of loyalty. Lastly, there is a significant amount of solidarity within my
organization. It boils down to the fact you are on the line and you have to
count on the person next to you from time to time and it could be for an ultimate
sacrifice. For the missions we perform if you’re not already committed for that
you’d be weeded out.
Since these values are already present the
best ways forward is to maintain them in their present state. This is done with
small group activities and unit competitions. I also like to have functions
either dinner or BBQ’s outside the office so we’re able to interact when people
let their hair down. I think that is essential as you need to know who you
really are working with.
