Radio Shack & Integrity

The front page of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram says it all today: RadioShack CEO quits. Dave Edmondson resigned after admitting last week that he inflated his academic record on his resume. Part of the statement released by Executive Chairman Len Roberts reads: "The message to shareholders and the public is, one of the most important things we have as a corporation is integrity and trust, and we know we have to restore that back to our company."

How often in recent years have we seen someone in hot water because he/she lied on a resume? I read some other stories this morning concerning the RadioShack debacle. One TCU business professor took the opportunity to warn students against this kind of thing---"you will likely pay the price." How true--just let you yes be yes and you no be no. Don't you think Jesus knew what He was talking about?
