Three Simple Truths
There are three simple truths that managers should never forget:
1) You can never expect your people to have a greater vision for the company than the one that your actions demonstrate that you have.
2) If your people believe the company is trying to take advantage of them, many will try to take advantage of the company. Some will succeed.
3) You can never expect your people to be more ethical than you are. Even if you've never done anything against them, if they see you cutting corners with customers, why shouldn't they cut corners with you?

I have seen this happening with myself i.e. I have been on both sides, fortunately I have worked with with some wonderful leaders. Water flows from top to down. This also has a lot to do with the organisational culture....
very well said Jacob.
