Leading with integrity

2012 appears to be the year when many people and large corporations are being questionned about the way they do business and their integrity. So how do we lead our business with integrity?


Perhaps our key performance indicators should be around the 3 P's of People, Purpose and Passion.

The two key areas of behaviour that are considered to support our integrity are:

1. Deliver your promises – but make only those you want to and can actually deliver

2. Conduct yourself by the values you talk about – have key values, live by them, believe them and make decisions around them.

So how does integrity work with your reputation? Well you always need to tell the truth to maintain integrity, as one small lie will ruin everything.

Why is this proving to be so important in the current climate?

Many new relationships are being formed as old suppliers have perhaps ceased trading or had to change their terms, so integrity is a key part of any relationship. Looking internally, then trusting and well directed employees will be more engaged, so find a style of leadership, lead with integrity and then stick with it.
