Quote in Action: Integrity
Integrity - Always honest, upright conduct

Just being honest is not enough. The essential ingredient is executive integrity." - Philip Crosby
In some cases, the most effective leadership trait you can display is silence. Silence that honors the parties involved in a situation is truly golden. Silence also assists in the listening process, a key component to successful communication. So pull silence out of your toolkit as a first choice, rather than a second or third choice.

Integrity - Always honest, upright conduct

"Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not." - Oprah Winfrey

Acting with honesty and standing tall in your conduct is not a mask that we put on and take off; it is the substance of who we are and the well from which we draw to take action. Decide to take the "high road" in every single situation, regardless of who is watching. That which happens to us when we are alone will, undoubtedly, show itself to the world through our future actions.

Where can you silently "do good," this week?
