A couple directions to go to answer this question, but I'm talking about at work...
When the pressure for results are high...
When you have a lull...
When you are angry or frustrated...
Do you act from your core values and act with integrity?
Why do I ask? Wow, because the professional sports world has really seemed to have a few high profile failures of integrity. Sports are interesting an microcosm of work towards defined performance measures that are routinely evaluated. The pressure to meet those metrics is immense and provides opportunity to measure yourself against your values. It also provides temptation for quick payoffs and recognition.
At work, fortunately, you are not being watched as closely as the professional athlete which means you need to be your own evaluator. When you have choices of which actions to take, check with yourself to see if your action is in line with your core values. Making decisions from your value base will reflect on the quality of your character and, in turn, garner the respect of the people you associate with.
