Be hired and be promoted…
Let me ask you, what do CEOs of many Fortune 500 companies considered as the most important qualities for hiring and promoting top executives. Answer?
INTEGRITY & TRUSTWORTHINESS
Integrity comprises the personal inner sense of “wholeness” deriving from honesty and consistent uprightness of character. The etymology of the word relates it to the Latin adjective integer (whole, complete). Evaluators, of course, usually assess integrity from some point of view, such as that of a given ethical tradition or in the context of an ethical relationship.
Trustworthiness is the trait of deserving trust and confidence. Trustworthy= Taking responsibility for one’s conduct and obligations
Denis Waitley has this tip:
Tip 1: Justice and fair play are integrity’s core values. Go out of your way to be helpful and make others Number One in your life. A smile will almost always be returned with a smile–and you’re none the worse for the wear even if it’s not. To be continued.
