Integrity, Part 2 Preview: Prove It

Michael Jensen’s 2009 paper, “Integrity: Without It Nothing Works,” claims that integrity creates “workability,” and workability creates performance. In this short preview, Chris Shelton asks Anne Peterson to prove it.

She tries with two examples, a bicycle that won’t work and a stool missing a leg, and Chris answers with one question: what is a human being designed to do?

This is a preview of Part 2 of Anne and Chris’s deep dive on the integrity model in Michael C. Jensen’s 2009 paper, “Integrity: Without It Nothing Works,” taught for decades in Landmark Worldwide and across the self-help world.

Does the paper’s claim hold up? Anne still sees value in the idea when it comes with clear caveats about its limits and how it can be misused. Listen and decide for yourself.

Part 1 is available free as a full episode of Confronting the Line. Parts 2 through 4 continue on Beyond the Line, Anne’s learning studio on Patreon, with a membership or as a single-series purchase.
