Next time you make a character mistake, start by owning it and immediately acknowledge the
negative consequences that your action may have caused others.

In dealing with conflict, both internal and external, never let issues linger and always,
always opt for radical transparency.
Insight #9
“Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities:
integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don’t have the first, the other two will kill
you. You think about it; it’s true. If you hire somebody without integrity, you really
want them to be dumb and lazy.” - Warren Buffett on Character
