Purpose and Background
"Integrity is doing the right thing, even if no one is watching." – Jim Stovall
Integrity is something that most leaders value, but many do not realize that some of their own actions may undermine their integrity in the eyes of their coworkers and clients.
This session will grow the awareness of the different types of integrity and help participants grow their own integrity in these areas. Leaders who consistently "walk the walk" and model high integrity behavior with staff and clients develop higher levels of mutual trust and mutual respect, improve communication, improve morale and retention, generate higher levels of client satisfaction and more repeat business… and they can still look themselves in the eye in the mirror each morning.
This session also will provide a foundation for improving the integrity of staff, will include some methods for dealing with integrity issues in staff, clients, subcontractors, and others, and will discuss the consequences that can arise if integrity issues are not proactively addressed. Generational differences in perceptions of what qualifies as high integrity behavior will also be addressed. Participants should come away with a stronger understanding of the different facets of integrity, as well as practical.
