Your Word Defined
From Erhard (2022)
1. What You Said You Would Do
2. What You Know to Do
3. What Is Expected of You (Unexpressed Requests of You) by All Those with Whom You Wish to Have a Workable Relationship
4. What You Say Is So
5. What You Say You Stand For
6. Moral, Ethical, and Legal Standards
This definition develops extraordinary power and trust in relationships with others. And as such demands us to be rigorous and vigilant in keeping our word whole and complete (integrous).
A more robust discourse on our word and integrity see here.
