The Leadership Minute #28: Integrity

The Leadership Minute #28
Character Traits of a Leader: Integrity

Merriam-Webster defines Integrity as the “firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values.”
Moral Values. Incorruptible. Incorruptibility.

As a leader, you need to have integrity. Those that follow you expect it, no they demand it. They want to follow someone they can trust. They want to follow somebody they know has their back. They want to follow someone who is going to lead them down the right path. That is YOU!

As a leader, you are expected to have integrity. If you don’t have it then don’t bother stepping up to the plate because where are you going to go? Where are you going to end up? Where are you going to take your people? If they follow someone who has no integrity then they are going to get what they get.

However, if people blindly follow a leader who has no integrity well they get what they deserve.

What your followers do deserve is a leader that has integrity.

A leader that is not afraid to step up to the plate, take the lead and that is YOU! Have courage and integrity and that is why people will follow you.
