Leadership Quality - Integrality

One sizes doesn't fit all in management. Management involves people, difficult people. And these people are all different; some prefer public compliment/acknowledge, others prefer short-n-sweet thank you email, or a simple pat on the back.

However, after years of management, there is some universal truth to successful management -- integrality. To further dump it down a bit, be genuine. I haven't come across anyone that prefers a hypocrite boss.

I was trained to be a highly effective / efficient professional. I found that the lack of integrality is the beginning of highly ineffective organization -- everyone second guessing others, everyone reading between the lines. Everyone spent more time deciphering the truth meaning for information communicated instead of "taking it for what is worth".

After all, one of human being's basic instincts is sensing danger. In our urban world, physical danger is general not a concern, however, people spent tremendous energy in sensing the invisible danger -- the ingenuity around us.
