There are always challenges and situations that conflict with my values, especially in Corporate America where I have worked for over 20 years. I have been asked to "bend the truth," "conveniently forget things," and the list goes on.
Have I ever caved? Unfortunately....yes. Have I ever held steadfast and refused to do certain things.....yes.
I guess the best way to be true to your values is to place yourself in the best possible situation where you survive or overcome the negative consequences (should there be any). At least that is what I try to do. I've even jeopardized my job a few times.
