potential"There is the principle of potential, the idea that we are embryonic and can grow and develop and release more and more potential, develop more and more talents. Highly related to potential is the principle of growth--the process of releasing potential and developing talents, with the accompanying need for principles such as patience, nurturance, and trust." (p. 34)
trust"Trust is the highest form of human motivation. It brings out the very best in people. But it takes time and patience, and it doesn't preclude the necessity to develop and train people so that their competency can rise to the level of that trust." (p. 178) integrity"Integrity is a higher value than loyalty. Or, better put, integrity is the highest form of loyalty. Integrity means being integrated or centered on principles not on people, organizations, or even family. You will find that the root of most issues people are dealing with is 'is it popular (acceptable, political), or is it right?' When we prioritize being loyal to a group or person over doing what we feel to be right, we lose integrity." (p. 325) |
