What Leading with Integrity Looks Like

There is a leader on my mind today that I respect greatly because their integrity never waivers.  One would think this would be the case with all leaders and unfortunately that isn't the case.  I could write three pages on integrity that you may or may not find interesting but let me just tell you what this person does and doesn't do (i.e. specific behaviors demonstrated) that make them a person of integrity.

• Not only would they not be involved in gossiping, they wouldn't allow others to do it in front of them.  
• Trustworthy without a doubt.  You could trust them with your life.
• Loyal to the employees as well as the company.
• Love their family immensely and it shows.
• Strive to do the right thing each and every moment of each and every day. 
• Says "I'm sorry" when they make a mistake, misunderstand a situation, or inadvertently cause hardship or pain on another.
• Has empathy for others.
• When they stand up in front of the team and make a commitment you can trust they are telling the truth. 
• Goal is to remove the barriers so the team can be successful.
• Consistently seeks to do the very best job they can do on a daily basis.
• Consistently strives to be the very best human being they can be on a daily basis.
• Gives freely - their time, their energy, their ideas, and their best effort. 
• Knows what they believe in and others know as well.
• Do not tolerate from the team members acts counter to working with integrity.  
• Wake up each day with a heart for doing the right thing - what is the best option for all parties involved.  Everyone may not agree with the decisions but they never doubt their motives.  

Is this how others would describe you?
