Today, Lina joins me to share her story. She goes into the Why behind her work and talks about the importance of integrity in her organization. She defines integrity and explains why she views it as a core value and not just a nice fringe benefit. She shares the key requirements she looks for in a potential candidate and notes the importance of their background. We talk about coworker relationships and the Triple-F of Leadership. We discuss the importance of your mission, vision, and values, and Lina shares her expectations of her team. Finally, Lina notes the importance of passion in what you do and why you can’t just be in it for the money.
“Sometimes [integrity] is very difficult from a financial perspective, but in the long run, it pays.”
