Number 7: Integrity – Defending the Truths You’ve Spoken

“If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools...”


It is impossible to overstate the importance of integrity in leadership.  Through his negotiations that led to the end of the Irish War of Independence, Michael Collins demonstrated that leaders must be willing to speak the truth.  Collins understood that others would twist his words to their advantage. 

The lessons we must learn about maintaining integrity include:

1.      Learning and understanding the facts

2.      Understanding the consequences of speaking the truth

3.      Preparing for others to twist our words

4.      Defending the truth when it is challenged

5.      Having the courage to confront the tough issues
