Integrity Moments

Integrity Moments is a 60 second workday devotional from CEO, Rick Boxx, that provides business leaders with helpful insight into what the Bible says about our work and how we can fully integrate our faith into our vocational calling.

Here’s what business leaders are saying about UBN’s Integrity Moments:

I just finished your 4-day devotional on Rebuilding Your Reputation and want to offer my sincere appreciation and gratitude for you writing it. I really needed it right now.

I love UBN’s Integrity Moments. I often share them with my team when it’s relevant to them, and I have invited others to subscribe. It’s a quick read, and it’s great how you pull out the biblical applications.

I read your Integrity Moments every day. Your design is really engaging for me. Three sentences, a verse, and a wrap up take-away. The last two Integrity Moments have been particularly meaningful and timely.

Love is an uncommon discussion topic in the workplace. I understand, yet, showing Christ’s love can make a powerful impact.  A friend of mine shared recently how his employer responded to the early stages of Covid. The company learned that many of their employees had spouses who lost their jobs due to Covid.   This put a financial burden upon ...

In memory of Abraham Lincoln’s February 12th birthday, it seems appropriate to focus on one of his famous quotes. President Lincoln once said, “Character is like a tree and reputation its shadow. The shadow is what we think it is and the tree is the real thing.”  Our online world now has businesses focused on repairing or modifying reputations. ...

Early in my career I observed a couple of guys who were both working hard to climb to the top of the corporate ladder. Over time, one of the two became a ruthless competitor. He would do anything to reach his goals.  Although these two were best friends, they eventually found themselves vying for one key position. The ruthless one ...

Many small businesses are still trying to hire enough people to cover their workload. When you lead a small business, the frequency of hiring new employees is usually not that common.  So, when your team is overwhelmed and you feel you need to hire additional help, it’s easy to move too fast. Instead, wisely pause and think through the important ...

Passing the Baton: Lesson III

In this series, we’re identifying lessons we can learn from Jesus on passing the baton to our next generation of leaders. Last time, we discussed Jesus’ commitment to pray all night to gain God’s insight on choosing His apostles.  Jesus could have been like many leaders by only selecting one person to train. Instead, in Luke 6 we read, ...

Non-Disclosure Agreement

Previously, we discussed the Federal Trade Commission’s desire to eliminate most noncompete agreements. One common use of noncompetes is for the protection of trade secrets.  If the FTC eliminates noncompetes, a possible substitute that can help protect your trade secrets can be a non-disclosure agreement. A non-disclosure agreement requires the signer to agree not to share the trade secrets ...

Noncompete Agreements

The Federal Trade Commission wishes to eliminate most noncompete agreements, causing concern in the business community.  If I sell you my business, it would be foolish for you to allow me to start a competing business across the street. A noncompete can be a reasonable solution.   But some companies force employees to sign restrictive noncompetes that jeopardizes their employee’s ...

While doing research on “Servant Leadership,” I stumbled across a quote credited to a seminary professor named, J. Carla Northcutt. She stated, “The goal of many leaders is to get people to think more highly of the leader. The goal of a great leader is to help people to think more highly of themselves.” The Apostle Paul understood this ...

Courage and Compassion

2023-02-10T21:11:35-06:00February 10th, 2023|Tags: , , |

A challenge in counseling a troubled business is to recognize the gap between theory and reality. It’s one thing to develop an aggressive action plan. It’s another to confront past due creditors and frightened employees. It takes courage to communicate pay cuts to employees. It takes compassion to recognize the impact your decisions will have on those employees, and ...
