Measuring Integrity requires courage and the desire to truly understand
how your actions and behaviors impact others.
Assessing and Cultivating Integrity in Leadership: A Self-Reflection and Team Evaluation Guide
How do feel you “measure up” in regards to leading with integrity? Would your colleagues and direct reports agree that you say what you mean? That you model the behaviors that support your company values? That you can be trusted, are consistent, and are truly dedicated to helping team members succeed, and organizational goals achieved?
We’ve worked with companies and leadership teams where integrity was their lowest survey score when their leadership style was evaluated. Why? The raters felt that their leaders did not exhibit the behaviors that were expected of them, and that the actions, processes, and communication (or lack of) did not support the company values and beliefs.
Below are some questions that can be used to measure integrity. We suggest you answer the questions first, and then if inclined, you can ask your team to share their perceptions.
How did you feel answering these questions? Did any give you cause to pause? It takes courage to self-assess, and even more courage to admit there are development opportunities.
Commit to supporting a work culture where integrity becomes the norm, and challenge others to do the same!
Sincerely,
Mike and Jan
The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity.
Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.
—Dwight D. Eisenhower
