INTEGRITY

“The core quality of character is integrity. This can be measured by how absolutely honest one is with himself and others. The depth of your integrity largely determines the strength of your commitment to each of your other values.” –Brian Tracy
"Integrity means doing what is right, even when no one else can see you. Integrity means doing what is right, even when it costs you, even when it hurts, even when it's unpopular. Integrity means you don't fudge on ethics, you don't shade the facts a little on your income taxes, you don't slip a few office supplied in your briefcase to take them home at the end of the day, you don't compromise the truth. Your integrity and the example of your life shape not only your own decisions and leadership style, but also the team atmosphere." –Pat Williams
