Meritocracy seems to be more and more welcomed in a world where nepotism and corruption are rotting our economical, social and political system. These tenets should be the groundwork of a more elaborated meritocratic ethical theory and way of life. Especially considering politics and relationships at work and in the private sphere, the corrolaries following the tenets must be elaborate.

1. Fairness, respect an honesty.
2. Trust and confidence is very important, don’t abuse or loose it.
3. Quid pro qou. „This for that.“ Do ut des. „I give, so that you give.“ Manus manum lavat. „A hand wash the other hand.“
4. Future-orientation and believe in progress.
5. Don’t ask what the community can do for you, ask what you can do for the community. There is no place for a mentality like: „after me the flood“.
6. The more you work, the more you owe. If you want more money, work harder and with better results.
7. Don’t criticise problems whithout proposing solutions.
8. Study the law, there is no excuse not to know the law.
9. No excuses are valid, if the consequences of your actions are harming the company.
10. You are responsible for everything you do and of the impact of your actions. No excuses are valid, if the consequences of your actions are harming the company.
