Chapter 11: On-the-Job Integrity

Workplace pressures expose whether faith and ethics can move from private convictions to public decisions.

Reflection: Integrity in Daily Work

Workbook page: p.148

Joseph’s later years in leadership put faith into ordinary daily decisions: hiring, policy, fairness, and the ethics of influence. Integrity at work became repetitive and practical, not dramatic. This section asks what habits keep a leader from rationalizing small compromises that later become character failure.

Suggested facilitation flow: check-in question, read the excerpt together, let discussion linger on one response, invite group prayer, and assign one application action for the week.
