Why Honour?
Honour as Ghana’s Blueprint for Success
Cultural values are very important in the development of every society. These values outline the acceptable behaviours we need to exhibit to peacefully live with our friends, families and the society in which Ghana is not an exception.
The success of an organization and the development of our country Ghana can be positively influenced by having a culture of honor and respect. Together, let us set ourselves on a path of restoring the lost glory of the days where our cultural values were like second nature.
Honour as an Enabler for Constructive, Respectful Debate
As a nation, we can expect increasingly robust debates and social action on a widening array of national issues. There must be a strong vein of honour and mutual respect between individuals and groups, even when there may be sharp differences in views. This enables respectful, constructive debate over issues of national life.
Trust determines the quality of relationships in our community and society. Honour is the foundation of trust.
We believe a culture of honour and honouring should be our compass as we head, as always, into the uncharted waters of our future.
The 2 Dimensions of Honour
While there are arguably many dimensions to Honour, there are two dimensions that are particularly important for the survival and success of relationships and leadership in families, organisations, communities, and nations – Honouring one’s word, and Honouring one another.
Honour is living by virtues, which are values in action. When you live an honourable life, you live according to universal virtues, and show great respect to yourself and other people by keeping your word and doing the right thing regardless of what others are doing.
Honour can thus be said to be the virtue of all virtues, for without honour, one would not live out the values that one believes in. Honour defines our humanity and it is ours to lose. It is like a muscle – we are born with it, but whether it maintains its functionality and grows depends on whether we choose to use and exercise it.
