I was not planning to write more about Celebrity Apprentice but I can’t resist after last night.  For those of you who didn’t watch — the men sent Vinny into the women’s team to spy.  He was to hear their ideas and their plan, then report back to the men.  They thought they would be sure to win. 

Turns out their plan didn’t work.  In spite of the inside information, the women FINALLY beat the men and won a challenge — and they deserved it.  That big Croc was cool! 

But win or lose, is cheating okay?

• Piers sure thinks so.
• Ivanka said espionage was acceptable.
• But Stephen finally stopped eating long enough to come to his senses and feel uncomfortable about the plan.

I so don’t agree with Piers and Ivanka.  I believe companies that sustain their success have a clear set of values.  They reward integrity.  And individuals who play by the rules are the ones who feel good about themselves and about their jobs. 

Cheating may help you win, but is a hollow victory worth the price?  What do you think?
