00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:09.360
Integrity,

2
00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:12.800
is the first amongst the equal

3
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:14.120
of the three.

4
00:00:14.120 --> 00:00:15.360
The three I’s.

5
00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:18.160
In all humility,

6
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.400
we strive to be

7
00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:22.760
innovative and we strive

8
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:24.440
for impact.

9
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:26.480
And much that I would like to believe

10
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.880
that we succeed more often than not,

11
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:31.640
but it's still something we aspire for,

12
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:32.480
we strive for.

13
00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:34.680
Integrity, however,

14
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.680
is an absolute.

15
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:38.440
I might

16
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:40.960
persevere, encourage even,

17
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.720
to work with a co-worker or a colleague

18
00:00:43.720 --> 00:00:44.640
who is,

19
00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:46.960
maybe not able to meet the bar on

20
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.760
innovation or impact in a certain given situation.

21
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.120
But I don't think I would be

22
00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:54.120
as charitable with somebody

23
00:00:54.120 --> 00:00:57.000
on whom I do not trust in terms of integrity.

24
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:57.800
So, to me,

25
00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:00.080
the fundamental tenet of our work

26
00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:01.920
is to

27
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.400
give our recommendations and

28
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.040
take our actions with an extremely

29
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.320
undiluted sense of integrity.

30
00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:12.320
In some way I would associate integrity

31
00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:14.720
in our line of work with intellectual honesty.

32
00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:15.600
When we

33
00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:17.640
meet give them a recommendation,

34
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.600
we stand by what we feel is right

35
00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:21.320
and not necessarily toe the line that they

36
00:01:21.320 --> 00:01:23.720
want us to and possibly that's where

37
00:01:23.720 --> 00:01:26.560
BCG differentiates itself from

38
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.240
many of the others who they work with.

39
00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:30.200
So 25 is

40
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.960
when you just completed your undergraduate.

41
00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:34.760
You've completed a post graduate.

42
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:35.560
You've just

43
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.000
started the journey of your professional career

44
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.920
and personally I can vouch for it

45
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.160
that the age of 25 to 50 is

46
00:01:43.160 --> 00:01:44.640
the best years of your life.

47
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.600
So congratulations you've joined BCG in its prime.

48
00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:50.800
So enjoy the next many many years to come.
