INTEGRITY and DOING

Doing is acting on that which is within; Doing is also acting on that which is without.

Simply put, you act on things that arise naturally from within yourself, such as going for a walk;   you also react to things outside of yourself, such as dressing appropriately for the walk.  

Being-in-integrity increases well-being; being-out-of integrity creates ill-being.

Doing is where being is actualized.

Doing is the what, where, when and how being-in-integrity increases well-being; it is also the what, where, when and how being-out-of integrity creates ill-being.

Doing things that are in integrity means actions and reactions are integrated, aligned and balanced.  

INTEGRITY AND BEING

Integrity is the experience of the wholeness.

It is a way of being[i], either individually or collectively as an organization.  

Being consists of everything that is within and everything that is without. Nothing is left out.

Everything inside is reflected onto the outside; everything outside is reflected onto the inside.

It is like two mirrors that face each other perfectly.  

One mirror looks inside-out. The other mirror looks outside- in.

If the features of both mirrors are integrated, aligned and balanced, then we have harmony.

Individually or collectively we are being in integrity.

WHO SHOULD TAKE THE COURSE OF INTEGRITY?

I was asked who should take  The Course of Integrity

The true answer is that the Course is for you.  The real answer is that you may not take it.

Integrity is doing the right thing and doing things the right way. 

Integrity is the essence of all things successful. We all want to be successful.

Integrity is real. It is not a theory.

Integrity is evident in what you say and what you do. 

When you maintain your integrity, your words and actions are aligned and integrated.

Maintaining Integrity brings you closer to success. Integrity creates order and harmony.   

When you deny your integrity, your words and actions are misaligned and separated.

Denying integrity takes you farther away from success. A lack of integrity creates disorder and conflict.

The results of your integrity are then in your own experience.

You can’t learn integrity from a book.  You learn it from experience.   

This is where the course of integrity is radically different.  The methodology is revolutionary.  

It is an easy and fun process that works with what is hidden in plain sight.    

There is nothing to read or study. Information is not necessarily transformation

It is so simple anyone can do it but not everyone will.

Can You Develop Integrity?

How Would You Define Integrity?

Playing in Integrity

Playing is an authentic, joyful, activity that integrates body and mind. It is integrity in action.

We pay athletes to play games. We pay artists to dance.  We pay actors to perform.

But we ourselves play no more. We are paid to work.

All children play. Most adults don’t.  

Play is an original experience. Play is a genuine response to a situation. It is value added.

Play is individual and collective.  

Play is being responsive to others and the reality of the situation. Play overcomes obstacles, distractions and interruptions efficiently and effectively. Collaboration and empowerment are the norm. Pride and satisfaction are evident in all results, even the most imperfect.     

Play is actually learning to do the right thing. Doing the right thing is a trial and error process that exists without concern for the outcome. A child places a favorite teddy bear in a place and then changes it to another.

One keys of play I observe in children is that individual expression is not self censored by an internal standard about what the child thinks others think should happen. Play, then, is not contrived. It is authentic, creative, and truthful. And it is transparent.

Integrity is not a theory or an idea. It is practical reality. Our water system demands integrity. Our work environment should demand integrity.

Integrity is not hard work. It is play.

Play always refreshes; work mostly depresses.  

Play at being impeccable with your word.

Overcome a lack of integrity in the smallest of things in play. Practice being true to your word.

It will result in a lifetime of play.

Led By Integrity

People tell me that the world is not ready for integrity. I tell people that I am not ready for a world without integrity.

Integrity is internal. It is the intention of truth in our words and the discipline of habitual excellence in our actions.

It is part of your character, our unique DNA that makes us who we are in this world.

Integrity does not exist in theory or philosophy; it exists within your being.   

Even a child can see your integrity.   

Integrity is not just personal; it is collective.

Integrity is external. It is what defines and defeats us as an organization or as a nation. Integrity is adherence to the constancy of purpose required for performance.

Integrity is structural; as in a building. It is data integrity in communications. It is design integrity and ecological integrity. Our bodies need integrity for us to survive. Integrity is everywhere. 

Integrity is not a theory or philosophy, it is a concrete reality

People buy integrity.  

To be led by integrity is to put integrity first within ourselves and within the world.

It is being impeccable with your word; it is the discipline of habitual excellence in your actions.

To be led by integrity is to create cohesion and the adherence to constancy of performance in all our collective activities, whether it be nation building, infrastructure creation, manufacturing provisions, health care services, or any other activity known to man. 

How can the world not be ready for integrity?

WRONG DOING, INTEGRITY AND NON-VIOLENCE

The world is a strange place with unwritten rules.

Some are rewarded for wrong doing. Others are not punished when they turn a blind eye. 

I broke that covenant at work.  I called the wrong doing. The consequence was termination.   

The details don’t matter.  It is the same everywhere. The people with power see themselves as right and those that oppose them are wrong.  

INTEGRITY AND TRUST ARE FREE

Integrity and trust are free and the ultimate in “what is in this for me”.

It is realizing all that you can be.

Integrity and trust are the cornerstones of journey from possibility to actualization. They take you from separateness, stagnation and perception to completeness, growth and reality.  

The potential for integrity and trust exist in the here and now of ordinary existence. Every day choices about small things like eating and or big things like work offer us the opportunity to pursue integrity and build trust.

Every choice has a consequence that either adds or subtracts from your integrity and trust.   

Integrity is the optimal experience. The process of its realization is the path way to an authentic individuated life. It is the ultimate journey into the mysteries of one’s life.  

INTEGRITY AND TRUST ARE THE ESSENCE OF EVERYTHING SUCCESSFUL

Integrity and trust are real and observable. They are the essence of everything successful.

Yet we know so little about them.

Even though we have no commonly accepted definition, integrity and trust are critical variables in every choice we make -whether it is consumer products, or the selection of a mate or friends.

We easily judge levels of integrity and trust in others but have trouble assessing it within ourselves. 

We say integrity and trust are critical to professional success, yet we have no way to develop them.

Integrity is your unique potential and possibility.  It is your value added proposition

SYNERGY IS AN OUTCOME OF INTEGRITY

It can’t be but it is!

Think about it, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

This is like saying 2+2 is not four but more.

Synergy means that things work together.

Words can’t explain the essence of this. We know it and want it but what and how do we get it?  

For a long time, the known world had no thought of synergy. The second law of thermodynamics dominated. It stated that everything will increase in entropy.

In other words, disintegration is the way of the world and chaos is destiny.  

And since we are of the world, well then ….the way and end are clear.

INTEGRITY DRIVEN PERFORMANCE

Does integrity drive performance? Apparently it does.

Novartis, a leading healthcare company, has adopted a philosophy that places integrity at the center of their strategy for success.

“Leading Companies, see integrity not as obstacle to competitiveness but as a driver of differentiation.”
Dan Ostergaard, Head of Corporate integrity, Novartis 

PricewaterhouseCoopers developed an integrity driven performance model that centers on governance, transparency and accountability reform. 

“This strategy suggests that business integrity, ethics and values do not detract from performance but, in fact, add to business performance when appropriately integrated throughout an organization.” PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Both approaches demonstrate practical ways to realize results through integrity.
