Some last thoughts on integrity for this week: be absolutely frank with yourself and others. We all talk to ourselves in quiet moments, and this needs to be an honest discussion. Try having these internal dialogues when driving, thinking things through and working them out. You’ll quickly identify your own strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities – this kind of personal SWOT analysis is a good practice. Face them all and don’t try to hide from any of them: the challenge and goal is to come to some appropriate conclusions. And somewhere in these is a semblance of the Golden Rule: figuring out what’s good for yourself and others, equally. If you’re not comfortable talking to yourself, find a close friend or colleague to talk things through with… don’t try to sift through your issues alone. Most leaders I know do a lot of this kind of introspection: this pandemic has stretched everyone and taking some extra time to figure out what’s best is a good thing to do. Be frank with yourself and others today.
