So where does the notion of accountability and integrity meet up with real-life deliverables? By that I mean, it’s all well and good to speak of the need for ethics and morality, but how many times have we seen poor behavior excused because the perpetrator was “talented” or important to the business or some such?

Choices
- I should think it’s the goal of ‘who’ one becomes over ‘what’ they accomplish is a key to maintain integrity in the long run.

- In the world of Social Media, experts are always talking about how transparency and empowerment of customer-facing employees(live and online) is key. And corporations (read: clients)constantly balk at the notion. It makes you wonder at the integrity of those corporations.
