Ritch meets with friend, Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker

Dusty tells Ritch that "honesty, integrity and consistency of personnel" are some of his most important leadership principles for success.  What do you think?

  1. Couldn't agree more with what Dusty said. People who practice those traits and who are more concerned with character than reputation will turn out the winners in the end. That's why Dusty is a winner on and off the field.

  2. It's very much like the Golden Rule: Do on to others as you would have others do on to you. This is true in all phases of life, including business. Wise man.

  3. I completely agree with what Mr. Baker is saying. Having these personal qualities will increase one's ability to hold oneself accountable for one's actions, which is one thing that business needs now more than ever. Mr. Baker has proven to strive for his best day in and day out through the use of these qualities, which has made him into one of the best managers and leaders this game has seen.

  4. Alden B. Dow, architect from Midland, Michigan, once put it this way: "Everything you do should be done with honesty, humility and enthusiasm: honesty more than sincerity; humility, the ability to give and take gracefully; and enthusiasm, the ardent pursuit of expression." I followed the tenets of "HH&E" throughout my career, and they served me well.
