Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx

This week we’re discussing some of the causes of conflict in today’s workplace. One of those causes is deceit.
While working as a lender at a large bank part of my job was to recruit new bank customers. On one occasion, after years of hard work, I finally landed an account from a high-profile company.
A superior of mine, however, looking to make a name for himself, learned of this new account and instructed that the account be assigned to him. There was little I could do, but this person’s deceit caused an ongoing conflict between us.
Proverbs 6:14, speaking of troublemakers says, “He who plots evil with deceit in his heart—he always stirs up conflict.”
Short-term glory can cause long-term conflict. Don’t be a deceiver who causes conflict.
