Comment on: Blog Post 'Are Credit checks before they hire you fair in the current economy?': manage certain aspects of their professional position. Lets consider some of the more sensitive positions - such as corporate security, government positions requiring clearance, etc. Would you like someone in those roles who has credit issues due to a gambling habit that could compromise their integrity if put in a certain position. Do not misread, in a good deal of cases I believe their is little to no correlation at all. However when and how the screening tool is used is critical and one that I think needs to be measured in a more distinct manner. Certain positions where it directly correlates to the handling of finances, the access to confidential information, or something of the like makes sense. But for the average position, I believe it is not needed. More importantly, the reason for the credit score must be weighed. One must be able to use cognitive ability to read through the score and see the reason behind it. If someone gets very ill, bad accident, etc. and has extreme medical bills - does that say anything about him/her? Absolutely not. More closely, it says nothing about their credit at all. I believe medical claims should be excluded from credit reports in their entirety since they have no bearing what so ever on the person involved.…; Added by Jason Monastra at 4:36pm on March 29, 2011

Comment on: Blog Post 'Your Integrity, Your Reputation and the Ability to Succeed in HR & Recruitment': g with authenticity is my "secret sauce." Love me or hate me: what you see is what you get. No hidden agenda, no playing politics, no BS. EVER. But frankly, referring to Twain, I'm not smart enough to behave any other way. From a professional aspect, I too have been let down far too many times by people demonstrating anything but integrity. I've always entered relationships open minded, expecting the best, and generally willing to give people the benefit of the doubt if something doesn't quite go so swell from the get go. However, not at all able to compromise on integrity or ethics. I don't like getting screwed and can't sit by knowing someone else is being screwed. Even if/when it would obviously benefit me to do so, I have been known to refuse to budge on an issue that I was being pressured to loosen up on or look the other way when some type of situation was inconvenient in the integrity department. Love the Buffet quote. Funny that integrity is one of my strongly held values. Intelligence is obviously highly subjective, but I do what I can to pay attention to building that - always! One of the most common things I hear from other people when they first meet me or see me after not being around for a while is that I have so much "energy" or they love my "energy." On a lighter note... not that I actually pay much attention to astrology, but I have read some things related to my sign - Aquarius, that seems validates these values. That combined with assorted self-awareness tools accumulated over the years tends to show a distinct pattern for this insistence on integrity.

Topic: No Excuses: wanted more for myself. I had tampered with completing my business degree but was so caught up in my work and family that I just didn’t have the time. How could I possibly squeeze one more thing into my already crammed day? As a corporate recruiter in a start-up, I didn't have a lot to offer by way of salary or company brand, but one of the initiatives that aided me in the recruitment process was the extensive business training that was offered to and actually required of each new hire. It was touted as a mini-MBA and was very intensive. Multiple business books were required reading, including “The Fifth Discipline” and “Diffusions of Innovation” – not exactly light reading. One book was entitled No Excuse Leadership. It related stories from the Army Ranger School and the trials and evils faced by participants there. As I read through the pages with images of men and women struggling to finish a mud run or climb through a barbed wire obstacle course, I realized my days of fighting traffic on the 55 and piles of laundry were really nothing compared to mud up my nose and days without sleep. If these leaders-in-the-making could survive their training, then so could I. I made the decision right then and was registered for fall classes by the next afternoon. Throughout that time, I was often cranky, exhausted, felt like I couldn’t think one more thought or write one more line but I never regretted my decision or toyed with the idea of dropping a course or excusing myself from the whole, tiring process. For indeed, it was grueling but that was no excuse and nothing felt so good as accepting a diploma for something I had worked so hard to achieve. Leadership requires one to let go of preconceived notions of how to listen and guide. This is a distinct difference from management, which requires structure and discipline and tends to be separate and independent of the recognition that each participant brings something unique and wonderful to a team. Management is the letter of the law, whereas leadership is the spirit of the law. We often disregard the impact others may have on our actions or choices, citing sovereign thought and procedure. Be quick to recognize that reasons stand behind every aspect of life, from decisions to what just is. Reasons, yes. Excuses, no. © by rayannethorn…; Added by Rayanne at 2:21am on January 14, 2010
