No Confidence Without Integrity

In: Essence of a Manager

Abstract

A manager’s integrity is bound up with his identity and his values. It is what underpins all the actions he mobilises. Integrity comes in two parts; there is the inner sense of integrity which is personal to an individual, and there is his integrity as observed by an external party or by the surrounding society. Being consistent with his own set of values is what preserves his inner personal integrity, his sense of wholeness, his ethical code and even his identity. It is independent of what is observed. Being lawful in his actions and following the direction of the integrated ethical code determines the external judgment of his integrity. His inner integrity allows him to prioritise and discriminate between conflicting needs or commitments or different courses of action. His ethical code – when engaged – provides direction to his actions by defining what is correct and desirable to do.
