Aiming high and failing
Aiming high means that you usually will not be able to fully meet your ambitious goals
– but that you will often accomplish more than you would without these ambitious goals
Aiming high also means that you will make promises to other people that you may not be able to keep
Integrity
Integrity is honoring your word (Jensen and Erhard 2010)
Honoring your word means:
1. Keeping your word
2. When you will not be keeping your word, informing everyone impacted:
a. That you will not be keeping your word
b. By when you will keep your word (if at all)
c. What you will do to deal with the impact on others
