But beyond this there is a large core on which we can reach agreement. These teachings are common to various religious traditions. They also show up in public opinion surveys and in the Constitution. That's a good example. And even if we have trouble living it, we still believe we should aspire to it.
Integrity begins in the home.
Professionalism and the satisfaction of a job well done are parts of it. But it also means doing the moral searching needed to be sure that what we are doing for our emp loyers are the right things to do. One of the most common ways we fail to live with integrity involves the expedient lie, the one that greases the wheels and avoids problems. And one lie leads to another, and suddenly we are living in a web of lies. We end up living enormously skeptical lives.
