Despite a firm-wide code of conduct and associated training, there are still folks who say they've reserved a conference room when you have proof to the contrary. There are also executive directors who order you to do things that are not in the firm's best interest because they stand to gain something personally, which is usually currying favor with someone else.

You'll frequently be told that there is no money – not for the training you need to take or to order office supplies. The firm says it places a lot of emphasis on innovation, diversity, and inclusion. No doubt, there are people there who truly believe in that.

Put the company first. Reread the code of conduct. Cultivate the careers of those who report to you and, really, just try to be a decent human being.
