When you are a leader, it is very important to lead with integrity.  If you lead with integrity people will trust you.  If you don’t lead with integrity, people will distrust you.  To lead with integrity, you must be honest, true to your word, and trustworthy.

A little while back I was on a quest to learn about how to lead with integrity.  I picked up a book called Leading with Integrity: Character Based Leadership by Alan Kolp and Peter Rea.  The authors mentioned many great points on how to lead with integrity.

The authors make three points that you may not think of when you think of leading with integrity.  They were  globalization and technology, servant leadership and competence, and teaching character.  Each of these sections is very relevant to understanding what it means to lead with integrity.

Some Of My Heroes

When I think of my heroes I think of people like my parents, grandparents, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Ronald Reagan, past leaders and coaches, etc. Each of these people played an important role in shaping me into who I am today.

Each was a hero for a different reason. Those that were close to me like my parents, grandparents, leaders, and coaches played a more personal role in my development. On the other hand, those famous heroes played a much different role.

Be the Hero

My heroes were great examples to me in one way or another. In order to be a hero, you must have strong character. [Read more…] about Become A Hero Through Leadership
