If you are the boss it's wise to remember that there are lots of things you don't know and lots of people who hope you won't find out.

block successful positivity
The difference between stepping stones and stumbling blocks is not in the event itself but how you think about it and what you do after it.

integrity important want
Personal integrity is important, not because it gets us what we want, but because it helps us be what we want.
attitude taken character
What a person says and does in ordinary moments when when no one is looking reveals more about true character than grand actions taken while in the spotlight. Our true character is revealed by normal, consistent, everyday attitudes and behavior, not by self-conscious words or deeds or rare acts of moral courage.
messages values who-you-are
Everything you do sends a message about who you are and what you value.
