Integrity and Leadership

Leadership. What value do you look for in the leaders you work with and choose to hire and/or fulfil responsibilities of leadership in the organizations you work with? The number one value I seek in a person of leadership is integrity.
What does integrity mean to you? To me, it means an upright, honest, and sincere person who fulfills their obligations and promises and makes choices based on "rightness" for the greater good, willing to sacrifice personal gain for what is best for all.
In your own life, do you have different value choices based on whether or not you are dealing in your own individual life or your business life? Does the your time clock, your location, or audience determine your commitment to integrity based decisions?
Who depends on you to be a person of integrity? How do your decisions and actions affect others? How much of your leadership effectiveness is based on your personal and professional integrity quota? How does your integrity influence the world around you? How much of your impact as a worker, individual, or family member is impacted by your personal integrity or lack of it?

Question to Ponder:
How do the choices I make daily measure on an integrity scale? Would that measurement be an accurate reflection of who I wish to be?



Points to Ponder:



How do you determine if the people you associate with are people of integrity?
