And if our words and our actions come from superficial human relations techniques (the Personality Ethic) rather than from our own inner core (the Character Ethic), others will sense that duplicity. We simply won't be able to create and sustain the foundation necessary for effective interdependence.”

My duplicity will breed distrust, and everything I do-even using so-called good human relations techniques-will be perceived as manipulative.”
