Week 3 Assignment: Integrity

Integrity. Powerful word. A word that can make or break a person. A word that speaks volumes concerning ones character. When Sherayah was about 6 years old we were at the local Michaels store. As we walked the isle Sherayah noticed a bunch of marbles on the floor that had fallen off the shelf. Thinking that God had blessed her with such luck she asked if she could keep them. After all she had found them. She felt they were hers. Our answer was no, and a lesson in integrity began to take place as we tried to explain to her that the marbles were the stores. Later that night when we got home I noticed that she was playing with the marbles! When Ed and I turned our backs, she picked them up anyways and stuck them in her pocket. Instead of giving her consequence right then and there, Ed got the car keys, took Sherayah by the hand and they drove off back to the store. Ed had told Sherayah that she was going to return the marbles, and she was the one going to do the talking. As tears filled my daughters eyes and the fear of what would happen, Ed continued the lesson of integrity with love and assurance. As they drove up to the parking place the store had closed and some of the workers were leaving. Ed had called one of the workers over and asked if he could talk to the manager. The manager came over and Ed said, "Mame, my daughter has something to say." With tears rolling down her checks, she pulled out the marbles and gave them to the manager and said, "I'm sorry, I took these from your store." The manager, who was on her knees, gave Sherayah the biggest hug and said "Thank you for your honesty. I forgive you." A number of years later we were out on a family outing, and Sherayah noticed some money on the ground. She picked it up. Ran to the person who dropped it and was granted a big thank you! Lesson learned.

Mary Kay always said,

The speed of the leader, is the speed of the gang

Leadership is the key to growth. It starts with you! With water that is contaminated, water must come to a boil in order to begin killing the bacteria. Now is the time to turn up the heat and create a boil in our minds that kills the contamination of the areas that hinder us from moving forward. As we go through John C. Maxwell's book you will be stretched. In a speech to a group of church leaders, listen to Maxwell's word's and think how it applies to your business.
