Leadership with Integrity; how to ensure it exists in your organization - Click To Read Article
Throughout my career in Human Resources, I have had managers ask how, if they found themselves in a difficult situation, could they be sure to say the correct thing? “When in doubt think about these two things: treat people the way you would like to be treated and if you don’t want to read it or see it in the news, don’t say it!”
It’s simplistic, yes, but advice that the VP HR at Enron could have been doling out. In the absence of strategic leadership and clearly reinforced corporate culture or values, these are two basic considerations for managers running an organization today.

There is a big time investment in the recruiting process. The ‘up front’ work does pay dividends - “Hire hard; manage easy” is, I believe, the expression. It works.
