One of the most interesting aspects of the story, in hindsight, is that an adult was recounting this to me. It would have been different if she would have said - "and guess what, I was even the top girl scout cookie seller in my troop", and left it at that. I think the fact that she proudly told me how she went about doing it was the scariest part of the story. Is she okay with "ends justifying means", or is it that she's oblivious that she just broke all the honor and integrity issues having to do with being a girl scout? Either way, it's so interesting that she volunteered the info. Thanks for your comment. bob Matt, I agree with you.

I think I'd weigh more into the personality of the person. For instance, if the person is not as assertive but is hungry, open to change, open-minded, and I see a desire to better themselves, I'd hire them. Compare this with the person who is very assertive but who is also close-minded and set in their ways on the way they communicate. If that's the case, I think it could be harder to remove the led from them. Very very interesting question, though. I'd be curious on other comments here. Wow, what a great question.
