Integrity: Compromise or Consequences

If I only do the right thing when it is easy, is that truly integrity? There were times in my life I considered myself a man of integrity, but I truly only did the right thing when I had nothing to lose.

Doing the right thing is easy if I have nothing at risk, but is that truly integrity or is it just the path of least resistance? When my integrity is challenged, I am really choosing between two things: Compromise or Consequences. Continue Reading…

Elite Teams Know the Destination

Leadership Video: Habits Form Character

What is the definition of character?

Character is our habitual way of operating.

HOW we are is WHO we are.

 

Our character is ultimately determined by our habits. If I am in the habit of doing what is moral and right, I am a person of high character. If I am in the habit of cutting corners, telling “small lies”, or any other morally questionable act, that is who I am as well.

This video is a clip from a training session on leadership I did for a group of salespeople. It is only a few minutes long. Take the time to watch it and see how your habits stack up towards forming your character.

Question:

How do the words you hear me speak cause you to evaluate your habits? Do you see changes you can make at work or at home? Do you see a path to teaching your kids about character?

 

Should Loyalty Trump Integrity

Which Is The Trump Card?

Loyalty and integrity are two character traits I think we all desire in ourselves and in others. I like loyal people. They are friends and co-workers I know I can depend on. It does not matter how bad the situation may be. I know I can count on the loyal people in my life.

I like people of integrity as well. I like knowing I never have to question their words, actions, or motives. What you see is what you get. Their integrity makes trusting them easy.

But should loyalty ever trump integrity? Is there a time when that is appropriate? Continue Reading…

Hire - Work Ethic, Humility, Integrity, Maturity

Hiring Character

Skilled workers are available. In this economy, there is always someone available who can do the job. Skill and competencies are not hard to find or to hire.

Character is a different story. As I have worked with oil and gas companies, large integrated medical systems, large regional banks and Fortune 50 companies, I see the same pattern repeated over and over again. We hire skilled people that we end up firing for character issues. Continue Reading…

Bad Character Habits Become Addictions

What am I addicted to?

Lying, cheating, and cowardice, are all habits that can become addictions in the same way smoking, drinking, pornography and drugs can become addictions.

I have often used the latter to explain how our character habits are formed. But last week I heard Pete Hinojosa (www.petehinojosa.com) speak on leading and coaching people. As he discussed a leader’s role in affecting the beliefs of his people he defined addiction:

An addiction is a compulsive belief or behavior that brings short-term benefit but creates long-term problems. Continue Reading…

Mostly Honest Is Not Good Enough

Is My Bar High Enough?

I eat healthy most of the time. I am in a good mood most of the time. I am prompt most of the time. These are all statements that describe me. I could strive for better, but those are probably good enough.

I need to face the fact that I am a hypocrite when I call myself a man of integrity. Being honest is not something I should do most of the time. But that’s what I do.

Integrity can be defined as the quality of being honest and fair. Integrity can also mean whole or complete, undivided or unimpaired. Mostly honest is too low a bar. Continue Reading…
