Hi, Scott

Great post and I have shared it with my larger audience, because the quest to become and stay authentic is worthin sharing over and over.  As you wisely note, "one slip" can overcome years of hard work being authentic.

I don't know of anything to add to your comprehensive code, but I will observe that this is not rocket science, but common-sense wisdom about how to treat others in the workplace and everywhere else, for that matter.

I wonder sometimes why this topic needs to be revisited so often.  Most of the folks I know in leadership development talk regularly about some aspect or another of this, indicating general agreement that authenticity is both important and in need of continuing focus.

At any rate, you have done a bang-up job of keeping us focused on the really important stuff and I thank you kindly for doing so in such a clear and uniequivocal way.

John
