accordingly – it in turn acquires greater goodwill that<br />
can even develop into a seal of quality.<br />
The principles are supported by all the company’s individual<br />
employees. They represent them internally<br />
and externally through their actions. In this way,<br />
value-oriented management becomes a core element<br />
of the corporate culture. Every bank employee must<br />
be aware that the integrity of his employer is decisively<br />
dependent on his personal conduct.<br />
This may not mean that employees are “betrayed” by<br />
their superiors if they get into a dilemma, but rather<br />
that they are given the opportunity to safeguard<br />
themselves beforehand. Needless to say, this must also<br />
be accompanied by clear assignment of the newly created<br />
accountability, which ultimately climaxes in top<br />
management. It would be illusory to expect the employee<br />
at the counter to exhibit totally conscientious<br />
conduct if the gentlemen in the executive suites help<br />
themselves without any inhibitions at all.<br />
At the same time, it must be clear to every employee<br />
that he must expect sanctions in the event of breaching<br />
the corporate principles. For example, it is a common<br />
misconception among those who take bribes<br />
that they are doing their company a good turn. Only if<br />
a bank defines clear rules in this respect, and rigorously<br />
enforces them, can it underline its credibility. This<br />
particularly applies to all management echelons,<br />
which all too often form an elitist safety net that ensures<br />
no one can fall through.
