Being genuinely interested in the lives of the people around you is one of the important means for developing a reputation as someone who is trustworthy.  From the wisdom of his experience, Stan offers compelling examples of what it means to be accountable for acting ethically -- at work and in other key relationships in life -- and for holding others to that standard, especially by striving to serve as a role model.    Hosted on Acast.
