Leadership Training Workshop: Leaders Need Many Qualities But Integrity Is The Most Essential

In over three decades of leadership training more than a thousand leaders and potential leaders, I have come to realize that while many of the necessities of leadership can be trained and taught, the one essential trait that is required to be a truly effective and responsible leader cannot be taught. That quality or trait is personal integrity. In all aspects of leadership, we can observe the glaring lack of that trait. Many of us seem to notice it most in our political leaders, but it is also missing in far too many situations, in both business and organizational settings.

Why do people who ascend to leadership positions find it so necessary to often skirt the truth? What happens when people become leaders? It is my belief that people do not "magically" lose their integrity upon assuming leadership positions, but that there are merely far too few individuals who truly possess personal integrity in the first place. We often simply notice it more when people are in leadership positions, because their lack of personal integrity is often more widely displayed and exposed?

Why is personal integrity so important anyway? Obviously, there are the esoteric and moral reasons why integrity is so important, yet that is not why the lack of these traits so strongly impacts leadership. Personal integrity is important because, in order to lead, one must often make difficult and sometimes unpopular decisions. That requires a responsible and effective leader to carefully weigh options, considering what is best for his organization or association before what may be in his own personal best interests. The most effective leaders must often be selfless, and must look at how various actions may potentially impact an organization, not only in the short term and during his tenure in office, but also medium term and long term as well. An individual without integrity might only weight the short term impacts, because that is how he views how the actions will most impact him personally.

Effective leaders must gain both the respect and the trust of others. Obviously, leaders must be respected by their members, and even if members disagree with the actions takes, it is essential that they respect the process and the intent of the leader. Leaders also must be able to effectively represent the organization to others, and without personal integrity, the organization will lose the trust of many outsiders. Too many "leaders" approach leadership as a popularity contest, instead as a responsibility to effectively represent their constituents and the best interests of the organization they represent and lead. True effective leaders need a vision, and without personal integrity, their vision will be tainted and impure.

I have dealt with many individuals in leadership positions. Unfortunately, not enough of them had true personal integrity.
