1. Trust
-Trust is a key ingredient in leadership.
-If you cannot engender trust, you are unlikely to find many who are interested in following your lead.
-Even if those around you aren't sure that you're making the right decision, they may trust you based on your integrity alone.
-This will cause them to put aside their doubts and follow your lead.
-They assume that you are making the right choice, based on ethics and proper morals, and are more apt to help you turn your vision for collective success into a reality.
2. Consistency
-Strong leaders must be consistent.
-Inconsistency is often taken as a sign of a lack of confidence, direction and forethought. Integrity breeds consistency by providing a clear set of principles to follow.
-These principles act as a guide, helping to cut a straight path through confusing or troubling times or decision points.
-A leader who shows consistency based on a foundation of basic ethics will illicit respect.
3. Follow Through
-A leader must also show that she has what it takes to follow through on her promises and convictions.
-There are times when leaders are tempted to stray from their foundation and principles, like anyone else.
-The right action may not be the easy one.
-With the proper amount of integrity, a leader will follow through and do what is right, as she is called by a higher principle than taking the easy way out.
4. Results
-Taking the easy or most seductive path can sometimes bring immediate results. However, this often leads to ruin in business and in life.
-When integrity is maintained, positive results don't need to be questioned or worried over.
-An audit of the books won't incite fear and a close investigation of business practices won't turn up any funny practices.
