Without intercourse with society, full understanding of one's action and the potential effects of those actions is not possible. This insight will lead to better communications and potentially better solutions to the problems both face. A CHMM shall not malign, damage, indiscriminately criticize, injure or degrade another individual without proper justification. Damage to a reputation is much easier to accomplish than most any other profession. Personal or corporate gain from such actions cannot be condoned under ethical considerations.
Professional ethics has a higher level of responsibility than civil or criminal law.
A professional is an example for the rest ot the world. His or her actions are more visible, more accountable. Approaches to other individuals should be done with the same balance of knowledge, skill and experience that defines the professional to begin with. Disagreements can be settled in a much more productive and civilized manner than mudslinging through the media. A CHMM will attempt to contribute to the furthering of his profession, by disseminating acquired knowledge and skill to others, and upholding the moral precepts of this profession.
