Integrity Summit

Integrity Summit Quote of the Week

“At a parent-school conference, unsolicited, my son Sully’s teacher talked about Sully’s character and integrity, ‘the most trustworthy student’...

“My husband and I looked at each other – we had just gone through a very tough time with Sully—he hadn’t been the kid we knew... Grades were excellent. But there were issues at a school he was attending. We decided to change his school...

“At the new school, end-of-the-year conference, the teacher told a story. She overheard Sully and another student talking about something the student did that was wrong...

“They went back and forth about mistakes and consequences, how to move forward from here...

“Then Sully said, ‘well, you know the right thing to do is admit it and own up to your mistakes’...

“In your workplace, no matter your title, are you owning up to your mistakes—are trustworthy and integrity behind your name?”

Integrity Summit Quote of the Week:

“My college business group interviewed executives to learn more about the real world. One day it was the manager of a commercial bakery who shared an integrity moment about the most profitable sales rep...

“The manager asked the high-profit sales rep how he was able to be so profitable, with almost no returns of out-of-date bread every week—above all other reps...

“Answered the sales rep, ‘I deliver the freshest bread with longest sell-by date to small stores because they sell slower. Day-old bread, yet still within the sell-by date, goes to the big stores who sell fast and return little-to-no unsold, out-of-date bread for a credit...

“Don’t do that anymore the executive directed... ‘Why?’ asked the high-profit rep...

“It’s about integrity...You’re cheating that supermarket and customers. Every one of our customers needs to be treated fairly—even if it affects profits...everyone deserves to get the freshest bread.”

“That bakery manager showed that integrity starts at the top!”

—Integrity Tiger Ken Burns, COO, Arizona Commerce Authority

Integrity Summit Quote of the Week

“I know this firsthand about Jerry Colangelo’s integrity. He has changed for the better the landscape of what sports looks like, especially in Phoenix, USA Olympic Basketball, and for women…

“He never lets people down. He’s always there for us. He works hard, pushes us. We're better for it.

“A girl like me, 39 years old then, would not have been wearing that uniform for the Phoenix Mercury back in 1997 if not for Jerry Colangelo…

“You and your integrity, Jerry, you've done so much for so many; you're a great man.”
