> Work with honest, intelligent people
That's such good advice.
On the same note, it's so discouraging when someone who is not/neither takes over, those people leave (one way or another), and you have to start the search again.
Or when someone is intelligent enough you don't figure out they're not honest until it's too late. <shiver>
Anyone who's been around the block a time or two will accumulate those experiences. I hope I've not been jaded by mine.

Yes.

Very true, and it may not even be malicious on their end, just avoidance and their brain rationalizing/minimizing without them realizing it.
(Otherwise known as pathological lies). To do as the saying says, and "know thyself" is difficult. People are prone to be overly harsh or generous when evaluating themselves.
