Been thinking a lot about this word the last few weeks actually. Wrote a bit about this topic for a school leadership assignment, but aside from that, to me integrity means single-mindedness. Practicing what you preach basically.
I'm learning the value of meaning what you say and saying what you mean.
Integrity.

Hey, I'm STILL trying to figure that one out too! :)
Integrity. It's what you do when no one's lookin'.
Or as Justin would say, "It's smoking what you sell." (Oh wait, you weren't at that Christmas dinner were you? He was refering to Ak, describing him as a man of integrity - a man who smokes what he sells...)
You know...Walks the walk, not just talks the talk.
It's late. I'm babbling.
But I saw that you just commented on mine, so I have to even things up and comment on yours.
Those are the blogging rules.
I read the handbook.
pakg1: it's daily learning. i make this post and then i do something "integrity-less" - I'm definitely in process.
jane: i heard him say it before! To me, he would say, i just smoke it... couz "then i get high..."
i think you MADE the handbook then. no one would comment on this site if they waited for me to comment. online, i'm a reader, not a commentator. in person, i'm a commentator that can't shut up and listen :)
Well, if I wrote the handbook, you did the cover design, cleaned up the layout in photoshop then arranged to get it printed.
What a team.
shelaine read my post! it's "urgent" :(
