IntegrityIntegrity: Practice makes Perfect

Refuse being a spend doctor. Practice speaking the truth, even if it is not what someone wants to hear. Honesty encourages open communication between employers, employees and co-workers. When workers are honest about the various aspects of their jobs that need improvement, employers can take action and help. Employers that are open about company policies and changes that affect the organization are more trustworthy from the employees’ perspective. Practice avoiding “gossip circles” and easy attacks on unpopular employees/employers. Confidentiality is a prime example of integrity in the workplace. Confidentiality instills trust and encourages sincere consideration of the privacy of others. Rise above petty politics and self-serving behavior; be someone people count on to do the right thing. Realize that organizational politics can take many forms, and be aware of them. Sharing recognition is one way to broadcast selfless behavior and/or not accepting undue credit. People will not follow leaders whom they do not trust. Great leaders, trusted leaders demonstrate integrity and in doing so, achieve the faith and confidence of their workers, colleagues, and peers, who then become willing followers, loyal employees, and trusted coworkers.
