Right now, I am reading a new book entitled "The Servant Leader" by James A. Autry. A key principle which he advocates is that we have to have congruity in our lives.
There is a foreword by Howard Behar, who is a former President of Starbucks Coffee International. He says, "You can't separate the way you behave when you're communicating with your spouse from the way you communicate with your co-workers or boss. It's important to be the same person all day, every day." I absolutely agree with him!
It's a sad reality that many people don't have congruity in their lives. In other words, they simply lack authencity. They are somehow so skilled in compartmentalising their lives that it's easy for them to behave one way when they are at home and behave another way when they are at work or with friends, etc. So, what others see is just a fragmented view of them.
