I recently read a Warren Buffet quote: "Someone once said that in
looking for people to hire you look for three qualities: integrity,
intelligence, and energy. *And if they don't have the first, the other
two will kill you."

Man I couldn't agree more. Give me a person with integrity and a good work

* * * * Integrity will give you a "good work ethic".

* * * * Buffet's point is that a hard worker without integrity, is working
for themselves, not you.ethic and I can use them. It may take a bit more time to get those without
education or experience up to speed but you can't change integrity and work
ethic.

I'm fortunate to be able to hire for a menial level jobs and then select
from this pool for advancement. *I know of no way to spot integrity and work
ethic in a short interview.

We will drink no whiskey before its nine.
It's eight fifty eight. Close enough!

Being ethical and having integrity are one in the same. Warren
Buffets wants people he can trust. I expect that he understands
people who seek profit for themselves and he looks for as much value
as he can get for what he is paying in wages. Sounds like a fair
horse trader to me.
