Teaching the Right Values
Many times, inadvertently and innocently, we end up teaching wrong values within our
families and organizations. For example, we tell our children or staff to lie for us.

Tell them I am not here.

The check is in the mail.
We all look to our parents, teachers and supervisors to teach us integrity. And many
times we are disappointed. Practicing these petty lies turns a person into a professional
liar. When we teach others to lie for us, a day will come when they will lie to us too. For
example, a secretary calls in sick when she really wants to go shopping. Maybe the boss
gave her enough practice lying for him that she has become an expert in lying to him.
