Last week my post quoted Howard Schultz … the currency of leadership is transparency.  The point being that people are looking for open, honest leaders … leaders they can trust because they are consistent in behavior and truthful … leaders who have integrity!

Make no mistake, being a leader with integrity is not an easy ask!  You may be asked to make bold and sometimes unpopular decisions (will you seek what is best for the business rather than yourself?)… you may be held accountable when things go wrong (will you accept responsibility, or pass blame?) … you may be asked to say or do things to meet the numbers (are you willing to compromise, even just a little bit?).
