All good leaders possess certain timeless traits. Robert O. DiMaio of the Leadership Institute writes that the following list of 14 traits can be used as character guidelines by which we can evaluate ourselves and others. I'll cover one trait each post over the next few weeks.
The first of the 14 leadership traits is:
1. Integrity - the qualities of absolute honesty, trustworthiness, uprightness of character and high moral principles. Integrity can be practiced by doing the following:
Tell the truth - always.
Stand for what you believe in, even if the belief is unpopular.
Use your power to work toward your organization's goals or for the welfare of your teammates and not for your own personal gain.
Orrin Woodward of the Team would agree for he is a man of the highest integrity. He lives all three of the behaviors DiMaio describes here. In fact Orrin says you can't even step on to the field of leadership without integrity.
He's right.
I wouldn't be on his team if he didn't have integrity.
