The Importance of Honesty in Leadership

Integrity: Doing What is Right BECAUSE It Is The Right Thing To Do. How many of us would rather do what we think is right because we believe it is moral and right? This type of thinking is destructive and is not in the best interest of all concerned.


Do what is right because you believe it is right. Do not try to force someone else to do something you want them to do, or if they don't want to do it, tell them to do it for you. Do not lie and don't be deceptive. If you have done something dishonestly, don't say you didn't do it, just admit that you did and say, "it is wrong, but I didn't know better."

Do what you feel is right because you believe it is right. Do what others think you should do. Do what you do for the right thing, for the best result. Don't do it for your own sake, not for your own sake, and don't do it because it is fun. Be moral and ethical at all times.

Honesty is the foundation of a sound relationship. Do your best to be honest and forthright with others and yourself. Be honest. Integrity is not the lack of a trait. We have all got some. However, in order to be truly good people, the traits that we are lacking in are brought into play.

Don't allow fear of ridicule or criticism to keep you from being good. When we become afraid of what others think, or of what we may not do, we limit ourselves, and our ability to do the good that is needed. Don't take it out on those you care about.

Integrity is a matter of recognizing the value of others. When you recognize the value of other people and do what you can to help them, then you have integrity.

Integrity means doing what is right for yourself, and not for someone else. There are situations when others cannot help us, but you will not allow this to stop you.

Honesty means never making a false claim. Never assume that someone else knows something you know to be untrue.
Integrity is doing what you can do for yourself and others, even if others don't like it. Don't think you have to give away something for nothing. in order to get something.

Honesty is having integrity. It doesn't mean you always tell the truth, but it does mean you are being completely honest with others. and with yourself. This isn't about being perfect, it's about being honest.
Honesty is treating others as they deserve. This means not getting upset with what people do or say to you. You shouldn't be critical of what you feel you have lost.

Honesty is being honest in the face of adversity. Being honest is not afraid to speak truthfully about something that may hurt you or what you don't like. People who are honest in their dealings with others are much more successful in life.
Honesty is saying, when your feelings are hurt, you are going to express that to them, even if it hurts. This doesn't mean, go around apologizing to everyone all the time. You are doing yourself a great favor to be as honest as possible with the people around you.


Integrity is using every opportunity to make changes in your life. Never make the mistake of putting off doing what you need to do because you fear it may be a "no-win" situation. If you have to lose something, do it.

Integrity means not putting yourself down when things don't go your way. Sometimes we may have to say things like, "this was a bad day," but it's not really. because you didn't do what was necessary.
Honesty is not always being nice to others, but it can mean the difference between being good and bad. If you don't make a change, then it isn't honesty that matters, it's integrity.
