What is Honor? Here's a simple definition for you to consider. The Honor/Shame worldview can feel very mystical to outsiders. But at the heart of Honor is a concept that we can all rally behind - human value.

𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙧 If you want to become outstanding as an individual, let your activities be determined by honor. What makes people great in life, is their ability to pursue honor. When people do honorable things, they will become amazingly respected. Honor differentiates great men from mediocre individuals. One example of greatness is that it is associated with honor. Desire honor, go after it, do things that are honorable, and stick around honorable conduct. Without honor, success will have no meaning. The level of impact individuals have on society determines how much they are likely to be honored. Let your activities be a reflection of the honor you carry. When you remove honor from the equation, dishonor will take center stage. One who takes honor with levity is likely to end up in dishonor. Honor is the character of eminence, nobility, and elitism. ━━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━━ Follow Isaac Nwanyanwu to convert your frustration into greatness, your weakness into strength, challenges into opportunities, and pain into gain.

Entrepreneur: helping team leaders build a thriving culture (aligned, connected, engaged) producing top notch joy filled work.
Honor eats control for breakfast But what is it? Two powerful people working to meet one another’s needs and the needs of the situation. - A great definition of honor by Danny Silk 3 elements of honor - Honor acknowledges that people are powerful. People are powerful because they can’t be controlled beyond the control they give to others. If people can’t be controlled then encouragement and empowerment are more proper than fear and coercion. - Honor values a person’s gifts even when they are different than you own. Most people only value what they see of themselves in others. True honor looks for the differences in others and appreciates them. - Honor calls others into their potential Honor sees what people can become and treats them in view of their full potential not where they currently are. Acknowledge you are a powerful person by honoring others rather than controlling them. Call out anyone on LinkedIn who you believe honors well!

Hey Leaders, some quick thoughts about honor. Or as my International friends might write: honour. I like the second spelling because it includes U (or you). Something we may be lacking in our society today. As the Leadership Professor of Practice at The Citadel, I have the privilege of working with the college's three key values of Honor, Duty, and Respect. And as the linked article outlines, Honor is something you give others, duty is the action of honor and respect is the reflection of selfless service and leadership. As a retired military person, I take the idea of honor seriously as I hope you do as well. The citizen trusts those trained in the ability to use force to use it in the right way and for the right reasons. A key canon in this trust is the sense of honor we share as a military profession and our dedication to the Constitution and our oath of office. Our question today is your honor, what it is, how your acts reflect honor and why it might be important. We'll answer these in reverse order. When it comes to the 'why,' of honor, check out my friend Ancella Livers article below -- she writes about why honor is important. And I don't think I could have written anything better -- her outline of what honor represents and how her father was role model of honor is worth noting. And that bring us to 'how.' How are you a person of honor? A person others might use as a role model of honorable behavior. One leader I admire demonstrated honor when he came to our team with a tough problem and was courageous in his vulnerability of being unable to solve the problem alone. He honored us through his trust and listening as we worked together to solve a difficult international issue. And now the what --- what IS honor? There are many definitions and many ideas about what honor is. At West Point they use the adage that 'honor is doing the right thing even when no one is looking.' Taking that one step further, honor might be doing the right thing even when it hurts -- our ego, our bottom line, our perceptions? For more on what honor (or honour) might be, here is an interesting link with more information: https://lnkd.in/gvdD-YCX Think about the bosses you worked with and did not like. They probably displayed dishonorable behavior. Not anything that was what we like to call illegal, immoral, or present a safety hazard, but micro-actions reflecting arrogance, mistrust, misogeny, racism, or even poor listening and actions. Knowing this, you now have a decision to make. Act like the leaders who decry honor or be the best person and leader you can be, acting with honor around others. So help me out. How do you live with honor and what examples have you seen that reflect a sense of honor or an absence of honor. I look forward to your insights and welcome your thoughts.
Dear America When I was a young woman of about 19, I accidently overheard my father on the phone. I don’t know what they were talking about, but I heard my father say, “I am a man of honor.”” His voice was clear and definite. I left the room giggling a little. I mean ,really, , who says “I ‘m ‘’a man of honor? “The phrase sounded as if it had come from a medieval movie. I am older now and I have come to understand the importance of honor. For honor means you strive to be your best self. Honor means you make the best decisions for the many, not just for the few. Honor means that you consider all perspectives not just the few. Honor means we own our mistakes; our flaws and we work to change them. America, my dear America where is our honor now. Can we truly say we are still a country of honor? Is our Supreme Court working from a since of honor? Is our Congress working from a sense of honor? Are we? And if we are not working from a sense of honor, then who are we becoming as a nation? If we have no honor how can others believe in us? Ho d with ought honor, Dear America, we cannot call ourselves the greatest nation on earth. We cannot have honor if we do not have truth. But it is not just about telling the truth. It is also about kindness. It is about trustworthiness. It nor means working for the greater good. But honor is not easily won. An is about listening. My dear America can we truly say that we are behaving as if we were honorable? As an individual, are you honorable in how you conduct yourself? Can we be America if we do not have honor? If we do not have liberty and justice for all? And if we cannot say yes to these questions then whom have we become? LEDIE;S KITCHEN Ideas that stir the pot

It is true that you need skills, knowledge, and intelligence to become a person of success in the professional and personal realms, but people don’t speak enough about the potential of what honor can do. There are doors that can only be opened through honor. I may not know much about other cultural settings, but in Nigeria and Africa as a whole, there are keys that can only be handed over to you by those who have gone ahead of you. There are realms you can only operate in if certain people give you access, and most times, how to get them to hand over these possibilities to you is by understanding the place of honor. I don’t mean superficial honor but a deep sense of it. In case you don’t know what honor is, it is characterized by respect, integrity, and recognition of others’ worth, weight, and power. If you want to play big in any sector or industry, learn the concept of honor. Don’t rely only on your skills, knowledge, and intelligence. They are essential, but the ability to honor others can significantly enhance your journey through life. You may have all the qualifications up to the Ph.D. level and experience, but another person who understands the concept of honor, even with just a B.Sc., may be placed above you. Honor opens doors to deeper relationships and significant heights, enhances leadership effectiveness, and fosters personal growth. By practicing honor in your daily interactions, you can achieve not only success but also meaningful and fulfilling connections with others. Honor can also serve as a stabilizing tool when others want to pull you down. Learn to honor people, not just the rich but every human being. TGIF Tadé Atanda Iyawo Oga

In a world filled with endless possibilities, one timeless virtue stands out: Honor. was on a call with my brother Denu Bon yesterday morning and he educated me on why honor is so important to gain access to some dimensions one could ever think of. after we had our discussion I had to go back and rethink... Honor isn't just a word; it's a guiding principle that shapes our actions, decisions, and character. In both personal and professional realms, honor lays the foundation for trust, respect, and credibility. When we prioritize honor, we pave the way for a culture of accountability, fairness, and reliability. Let's remember that honor isn't a relic of the past; it's a beacon guiding us toward a brighter future. Embracing honor means committing to authenticity, transparency, and ethical conduct in all our endeavors. In a world that's constantly evolving, honor remains a timeless principle that elevates individuals and organizations alike. Let's champion honor, not just as a concept, but as a way of life. What does honor mean to you, and how has it shaped your journey?

If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it. Marcus Aurelius In a day and age where most people do and say whatever they consider to be in their own interest, the rightious still lives his or her life by the old ways. If it is not right, he won't do it; if it is not true, he won't say it. The rightious is not moved by what is acceptable to others, but by what is acceptable according to his or her own standards, standards which are based on his keen sense of right and wrong. In today's world, everyone seems to be struggling to find a way to be different, to stand out from the crowd and be unique. Well, if you want to be different, to be unique, to stand out from the crowd, all you have to do is be a man or woman of honor; you will stand out like a bodybuilder at a ballerina convention. So few people live a life of honor in today’s world that is seems as if honor is an endangered trait. The rightious lives a life of honor, regardless of how anyone else lives. The rightious are not concerned with how everyone else lives their life; he is only concerned with living his life as he should. Make up your mind that you will do what's right, no matter what anyone else thinks about it. Decide, once and for all, that you will speak the truth, no matter how many people get angry about it because they had rather believe a lie than hear an uncomfortable truth. Make up your mind that you will live by your principles, principles based on right and wrong, no matter what; then live by them.

Honor has a disposition. Honor has its peculiar attributes and uniqueness. Honor comes with a silent realization of value and public communication of respect for the value. You are designed to honor the dignity of humanity. Beyond this, you are to honor some special people because of the roles that they play in your life. Honor will never be forgotten. Honor never forgets. Honor has sound memories and sound judgment. Honor attracts honor. Honor attracts favor. Honor attracts blessings. Genuine honor for the sacredness of human lives brings development. May you communicate honor, and may you receive honor. You are honorable.
