“ The fundamental characteristic that enables hidden leadership to bloom is demonstrating integrity. ”
To demonstrate integrity, a person must have the courage to consistently adhere to a strong ethical code, even in difficult situations.
~ Scott K. Edinger
Integrity is the source of new solutions and innovations, courage is a means of halting progress down a wrong road.
A person's integrity develops early in life. Once formed, it is difficult to alter, change, or improve.
Integrity, by its definition, means adhering consistently to a strong, reliable code of ethics, whatever that code is.
