Trust that man in nothing who has not a conscience in everything.

LEADERSHIP
Someone who keeps a conscience in some areas and not others has not got one, they have a policy. A person who cheats where it is safe and behaves well where they are watched is showing you the rule they actually run on. You are included in that rule as soon as you become the safe case.
Pay attention this week to how people treat those who cannot do anything for them: the waiter, the junior, the stranger on the phone. That is the honest sample. What you see there is what to expect when your own position changes.
Who asks for your trust while cutting corners in small things?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
