I think this post could use some more distinguishment between when it’s talking about individual Integrity and organizational integrity. That was somewhat confusing to me on reading and I was wondering if you were suggesting they operated in the same way. Or if you were suggesting that then it could be stated directly.
I personally think of them in roughly the same frame. Organizational integrity requires more steps since you have to figure out how to get your organization to even be a coherent-entity in the first place, but it’s still basically the same loop in my experience. (I think I wrote this post with the target audience of organizations primarily in mind, because organizations tend to wield disproportionate power. But organizations are made of people and I’d want the individual people to be clarifying their principles in addition to figuring out how to have coherent principles as a group).
I think this post is mostly motivated by interpersonal-coordination-principles, such as honesty, keeping promises, [and not making promises you can’t keep], and repaying your debts. This isn’t the only kind of principle – there are also principles of aesthetics and craftsmanship and practical rules you follow. But confused/bad coordination principles are more likely to become other people’s problem.
