I think the caveat is that people will often compromise on personal integrity because they're human:-) And definitely when money is involved. RE: Disclosure and blogging. I think it's hilarious that people wigged so much when the FTC rulings came out a few months back. To a degree a lot of the rules are common commonsensical. Like most things, just do the right thing and you'll be fine. The part of the upset I do understand because what everyone feels is right and wrong is also different, a whole other story:-) RE: Banking and finance - the animal of that industry has many layers and intricacies unlike any others. Also, the part of the story we don't know is what actions Jane took to correct their raising her interest rate. While I can assume what the outcome was, who knows if they would reconsider her interest rate upon further investigation. Loved your comment and thoughts here. Again, my apologies for not responding sooner. I hope you are having an awesome holiday season Sean! Sean -

There are a lot more everyday, which is starting to rebuild that integrity and honesty in the relationship we once had with our products and services." I dig it Keith. Those that are bringing things back to basics are those that are going to do very well - and be able to feel really amazing about it. It's not idealistic, it's the way business should be (IMHO). Thanks for your great thoughts. Keith -

Banks manage risk, and evaluating the likelihood of increased risk is part of that management process.

apologies for the nosebleed post… Lisa, I'm happy to have discovered your blog. Very intellect-ual…

It's not wise to be "efficient" with people or look for ways to take the warmth out of any kind of customer interaction. However, when large numbers of people are involved and efficiency is a real factor - there is no easy answer as to how to interact in a warm way... especially when negative messages (like the one Albert referenced) must be disseminated. Love the blog LuLu - good message and great questions. All organizations, large and small must never lose sight of the “human factor” in the work they do and the service they provide.
