Most integrity moments are the size of a receipt. That’s why people miss them.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

People wait for a dramatic test and it rarely comes. The real occasions are small and badly lit: the extra change, the unreturned pen, the hour you did not actually work, the question you could answer honestly or vaguely. They pass in seconds without announcing themselves, which is why most of them are failed by accident rather than by choice.

Try noticing one of them today, at a till, in a group chat, on a timesheet. You will probably find two or three. Handling the small ones well is the only practice available for the rare big one.
