The actions of a business are its value statement. Actions speak volumes about what really matters most – not what should matter, not what we wish mattered, but what really does matter to us. They swamp mission statements, speeches or memos, and they eclipse intentions.
Having the kind of integrity that leaves no room between what we say and what we do is really hard work. It’s much easier to follow the words of JR Ewing of the TV series Dallas, who said: “Once you lose your integrity, everything’s easy.” Lots of people have chosen this path. Others find it to be too much work to align their decisions and actions with what they claim as priorities.

From the article:
If you’re leading a team or a company, if you’re part of a family or teaching a class, your only lasting message will be what you do, not what you say.
It all basically starts with how you lead yourself and how you choose to lead your life.
Excellent article. A key is living values. Are there agreed behaviours for your values?
