Integrity

The one thing I demand from all my business partners and appreciate from my clients is integrity. Integrity does not mean you tell me things I want to hear, being nice and always doing the right thing. Rather integrity is having the character to table issues and resolve them without hiding or coloring the facts. It is having the maturity to accept responsibility for the realities, outcomes consequences of agreements made thereon. This is probably the foundation of trust and commitment between two people. While this basic ingredient is a requirement in successful business practice, I don’t see how a marriage can stay on the road without developing this core competence of a good relationship.
