I believe that Integrity is key to two things although not limited to only these two: 1. leading an effective and efficient organization and 2. to being a good leader that knows when and how to lead, follow or get out of the way. I believe that people will follow your lead if you have integrity as they will trust you if you lead by example. A good leader must have Vision/strategy and needs to communicate with all key stakeholders affected and influenced by his leadership. This is important to maintain good relations as it make it easier to persuade or encourage others to lead, follow or get out of the way for the good of the whole organization. This is called adaptability and contributes to excellent teamwork. Effective teamwork needs to recognize the skills and knowledge base of everyone around you which is quite empowering. This builds strong organization and character when all contribute their skills and knowledge to build upon one another through coaching and development and this is important in making good informed decision-making when implementing the shared vision and strategy. There are many other influences in my life but this summarizes what I believe in a nutshell.
