Internal Audit
My wife Tina is an internal auditor for T. Marzetti. When she walks into a plant to do an audit she can tell a lot about that plant by what she sees. If she finds that the financials, employment records, inventory, and quality control aspects of the plant are good it is an indication to her that the plant is doing well. If she finds that all these aspects are not in order it is an indication to her that the plant is doing poorly. A plant cannot produce a good product if the internal running’s of the plant are not functioning properly.
2. This is also true of people. What we see on the outside is an indication of what is going on inside.
3. There is no greater indication of what a person is like on the inside then by what comes out of their mouths.
