Warren Buffett : Integrity



"In looking for someone to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence and energy," said Warren Buffet.

"But the most important is integrity, because if they don't have that, the other two qualities, intelligence and energy, are going to kill you."

"When you hire someone to run your business, you are entrusting him or her with the piggy bank," according to Buffett.

"If these people are smart and hardworking, they are going to make you a lot of money, but if they aren't honest, they will find lots of clever way to make all your money theirs."

The rule is simple: People with integrity are predisposed to perform; people without integrity are predisposed not to perform.

The lesson is simple: Having integrity is more important than being good at what you do.
