Jane, Great blog. Made the point loud and clear. It's all about character...who we are inside.

Your insights bring to the forefront an issue that goes beyond leadership practices in organizations...not giving credit where credit is due. As our world has become more virtual with so many people on social media and blogs, it has lead to a significant amount of written copy being shared without any credit or attribution given. People are lifting statements out of published books, commentary, blogs, Facebook post, TV shows and more without giving any credit to the people who wrote those statements. This has reached epidemic levels. I believe most of this is happening because our school systems do not teach anything about intellectual property, copyright and the more basic concept of just giving people credit for what they have created or done.
