Covey's Five Questions on Integrity

Covey, pp. 66 of The Speed of Trust; The One Thing That Changes Everything (New York: The Free Press, 2006), has us ask ourselves 5 questions:

1. Do I genuinely try to be honest in all my interactions with other people?

2. Do I typically "walk my talk"?

3. Am I clear on my values? Do I feel comfortable in standing up for them?

4. Am I open to the possibility of learning new truths that may cause me to rethink issues or even redefine my values?

5. Am I able consistently to make and keep commitments to myself?

He suggests that you go to your friends, coworkers, and bosses and ask them their perceptions "because we all have "blind spots," we sometimes tend to overestimate or underestimate our own level of strength.

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

Entrepreneurship is the life's blood of all my professional activities. It makes them go. It informs my connection strategy. For my ideas on connection strategy, go to my new blog www.Connecting.blogspot.com.

It makes Your Stop for Real Estate, my real estate referral business, go. See www.yourstopforrealestate.blogspot.com.

It powers my writing. Go to www.kearneymusicschoolmurders.blogspot.com for my ideas on writing and where you can read my mystery for free, download it for free or buy it from Amazon.com more cheaply than you can print it.
