Integrity

“It is Attitude, not Aptitude that determines your Altitude” – Zig Ziglar

We often hear the word Integrity, especially in our working environment. Although there are many definitions of integrity, I would like to suggest we use the word to represent a situation where a person acts according to what she/he says.  “Walk the Talk” is a more popular expression of integrity.  In short, a person of integrity always keeps her/his promise.

In a broad sense, integrity is a very important aspect related to ethical conduct.  Integrity is one of the foundations that makes a person behave ethically. Transparency, one of the prime aspects in exercising Good Corporate Governance, goes hand-in-hand with integrity.  If you act with integrity, you are not afraid to disclose any of your decisions or actvities at work.

Enjoying Success But Unhappy…How Come?

One of my duties as a mentor at PPM is to listen to problems faced by executives and discuss causes and solutions. The most frequently voiced complaints are feelings of exhaustion, unease and disconnection in regards to their jobs.

These are people who have worked very hard and have achieved good positions. Most of them reached middle management positions at the age of 31 to 41.

This situation faced by some executives is nothing unusual. It is as though it is a disease as it is quite common. You don’t have to be a manager and wait until you are old to be unhappy. Anyone can have this feeling despite significant achievements in their life. How does this happen and is there a way to work through it?
