Hey humans! Today, we're tackling a topic that's not just a trend for 2025, but a timeless essential: integrity. My guest, Bri Morsa and I defined integrity and its key aspects: honesty, accountability, consistency, and moral courage. We also explore workplace statistics highlighting the impact of integrity on reporting misconduct, employee turnover, and leadership trust. Integrity is a cornerstone of a healthy work environment.
Bri and I had a great conversation about how integrity shows up in our lives and why it's so crucial for organizations. We discussed the challenges of maintaining integrity when faced with pressure and the importance of self-reflection in fostering a culture of trust. We also touched upon the work of Rachel Botsman, an expert on trust, who emphasizes integrity as a critical component of trust. She defines trust as a confident relationship with the unknown, and I couldn't agree more. Integrity fosters this confidence by signaling that a person or organization will act ethically and consistently, even in unpredictable situations.
As leaders, we have a greater responsibility to show up with integrity and create safe spaces for others to do the same. It's an ongoing journey that requires self-awareness, vulnerability, and a commitment to doing what's right, even when it's hard. We also discussed the challenges of hiring for integrity and how to assess it in ourselves and others. It's not always easy, but it's essential for building strong teams and relationships.
