Covey on Congruence

Covey, pp. 62-63, gives us another component of integrity, congruence.

A person has integrity when there is no gap between intent and behavior...when he or she is whole, seamless, the same--inside and out. I call this congruence.See The Speed of Trust. The One Thing that Changes Everything. (New York: Free Press, 2006). p. 62.

There's more on p. 62:

People who are congruent act in harmony with their deepest values and beliefs. They walk their talk. When the feel they ought to do something, they do it. They're not driven by extrinsic forces, including the opinions of others or the expediency of the moment.

He's onto something. When you see someone saying one thing and doing another, you don't trust them. At least I don't.

The point of all of this is to create more skilled entrepreneurs. Is it working?
