CSTG 234: Integrity: The Foundation of Every Leader with Chad Peterman

Commit to continuously developing your team members, even the challenging ones, because you've taken on that responsibility as a leader.

Practice self-awareness by aligning your internal thoughts and feelings with your external words and actions; this will improve your leadership effectiveness and personal energy.

Take 100% responsibility for your role in any disagreement or challenge, focusing on what you could have done differently rather than blaming others.

Foster an environment where candid conversations are encouraged, using 'I statements' to express feelings and observations, which builds trust and reduces drama.

Make clear, achievable commitments, both to your business and yourself, and consistently follow through to build integrity and strengthen habits.

Avoid justifying your actions; instead, seek to understand the other person's perspective and your own contribution to a situation, which is key to resolution and growth.

Actively 'clean up' relationships by having honest conversations to address misunderstandings or areas where integrity might be lacking, both professionally and personally.
