5. The integrity of the individual means that we can not demand of others more than of himself

No leader able to guide his followers further than he is himself. Too often we are so concerned about the end result, that in every way try to cut corners on the way to it. The integrity of the person doing these tricks impossible, because sooner or later the truth will come out.

I once read an interview with an employee of one of the largest U.S. companies. Here's what he said about the quality control of the production: "The main quality control - not the product itself, and the process of manufacture. If the production process goes as expected, the quality of products is guaranteed. " The same can be said about human nature: where is the integrity of the person, trust, guaranteed.

After the explosion of the spaceship "Chel-Lenjeri" Americans are horrified to learn that control experts have warned NASA on incomplete technical readiness of the ship to fly. However, according to the experts did not listen, and said, "The show must go on!". The result - a disaster. With many leaders of the same thing happens.

In my youth I played on the basketball team. Our coach, Don Neff, used to say: "How do you train and play." If we forget this principle, our

 

potentials are not fully disclosed. If this principle forgets leader, sooner or later, he loses credibility.

 

6. The integrity of the individual helps the leader to become not just a smart and reliable

Fred Smith, an experienced businessman and a wise man, not so long ago said to me, what's the difference between an intelligent and reliable man. Smart leaders, said Smith, a long time kept in its place. It reminded me of the words of the writer Peter Drucker from his speech to the priests: "The main requirement for the leader, without which you can not perform effective leadership - gain credibility. Otherwise, such a person can not find a single follower. Leader - the one for whom people go. To trust a leader, it is not necessarily around to agree with him. Trust - This is the conviction that one says exactly what he thinks. It is the belief that avuchit elevated and is considered a very old-fashioned - a wholeness of character. The actions of the leader and his uttered beliefs must be, if not identical, then at least do not contradict each other. Effective leadership - once again speak for a very old idea - based not on his mind, and primarily on the integrity of nature and sequence of actions "*.

Leader with a solid character and sincere intentions need not make sweeping statements. What they want to say, is shown in all their actions, and soon became known to all and sundry. Conversely, dishonesty can not hide or disguise, even if the head of the seven genius. The only way to maintain the respect and appreciation of his subordinates - deserving of respect and appreciation. Even the most hardened and wily old fox can not fool all at once at the same time. Each of us is recognized not for the way trying to look, but for who he really is.

As told an American journalist and writer Ann Landers, "people with solid character can rely on trust. They know that time will prove them right, and therefore are willing to wait. "
