5. What is integrity?
Integrity is knowing right things to do and doing the right things
Integrity is not an absolute notion that you either have or totally lack. Such a black or white approach would, yet again, render the notion meaningless since no institution is without some blemish or occasional rule that requires bending.
It is an ability to create problem solving alternatives with respect to legal provisions and not compromising with integrity values.
