Introduction
If your result is Integrity, you’re the kind of leader people trust instinctively. You say what you mean, you follow through, and you hold yourself to a standard that many admire but few maintain. Your leadership is grounded in honesty, consistency, and a deep commitment to doing what’s right — even when it’s inconvenient.
This post explores your strengths, your blind spots, and how to lead with integrity in a way that’s grounded, human, and sustainable.
What This Looks Like in Daily Life
• You keep your promises, even the small ones
• You speak honestly, even when it’s uncomfortable
• You make decisions based on principles, not pressure
• You hold yourself accountable without being asked
Your Core Strengths
1. You’re trustworthy and consistent
People know exactly what to expect from you.
2. You lead with clarity and fairness
You choose what’s right, not what’s easy.
3. You model ethical behaviour
Your presence elevates the standards of the people around you.
When This Value Gets Stretched
Your commitment to integrity is powerful — but when overextended, it can lead to:
• rigidity
• self‑criticism
• difficulty navigating grey areas
• frustration when others don’t share your standards
Your growth lies in embracing nuance without abandoning your principles.
What Others Experience With You
People feel safe, respected, and guided by your clarity — but they may sometimes feel intimidated by your high standards or worried about disappointing you.
How to Grow Without Losing Your Integrity
1. Allow room for imperfection
Not every situation has a “right” answer.
2. Practise flexibility
Integrity and adaptability can coexist.
3. Extend compassion to yourself
You don’t have to carry the moral weight alone.
