Update to “Why Integrity Matters”

Last week I wrote a blog post about why integrity matters.  In that post I cited the example of Johnson and Johnson during the 1982 Tylenol scare.  I also cited the recent National Speakers Association re-branding to Platform.  I stated that our integrity (or lack thereof) shows when we find ourselves in a situation that we didn't expect and have to decide what to do.

I am pleased to announce that the NSA has decided to drop the name and start the re-branding process again.

The Perils of Perfectionism

I confess.  I have very high expectations of myself.  I have been that way ever since I can remember.  I expect to be the best at what I do.  I expect to work hard.  I expect to always say the right thing.  I expect to not make a mistake.  I expect not to hurt anyone.  I expect, I expect, I expect.
