It is more than simple honesty. It's the key to success. A person with integrity has the -- often rare -- ability to pull everything together, to make it all happen no matter how challenging the circumstances. Drawing on experiences from his work with Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and individual leaders, Dr. Henry Cloud, a clinical psychologist and nationally syndicated radio host, shows how our character can keep us from achieving all we want to (or could) be. In Integrity, Dr. Cloud explores the six qualities of character that define integrity. He uses stories from well-known business leaders like Michael Dell and sports figures like Tiger Woods to illustrate each of these qualities. He shows us how people with integrity:
Success is not related to only talent or brains. There are a lot of bright, talented people who are never successful. And the most successful are not only the ones with the most talent. The real factor, Cloud demonstrates, is the makeup of the person. All of us can grow in the kinds of real character that bring about fruitful relationships and achievement of purpose, mission, and goals. Integrity is not something that you either have or don't, but instead is an exciting growth path that all of us can engage in and enjoy. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Reaching Our Potential By Resolving The Gaps Which Strengthen "Character" To Avoid Life's TrapsHenry Cloud, PH.D, executive consultant to over 500 corporations, provides insights on the correlation of integrity to leadership and life success in "Integrity: The Courage to Meet the Demands of Reality." Cloud uses his experience from over twenty years of working with people from all walks of life to highlight key "personal issues that keep some of them stuck and cause others to be amazing performers." Cloud initially outlines the three essentials for success - competency, alliance ...

Read More Rating: - Integrity: the courage to meet the demands of realityIn answer to the age old question, "Read any good books lately?" "Integrity" is at the top of my list. Three of us spent early Friday mornings for months to walk thru the book considering how it correlated to our lives and the implications to how we would live out the principles. I've recommended it to a wide range of people including a mom who asked what book she should buy for her son who was graduating with a degree in Sports Management. This is a must read for every leader. Rating: - Practical Wisdom!I read lots of business books. And this is perhaps the first time that someone else's book has helped me come to a deeper understanding of one of my own, a book first published in 1997 and entitled, "If Aristotle Ran General Motors: The New Soul of Business." My concern in that project was that top business people for many years had been talking about product quality and process efficiency, but hardly anyone at the time was talking about the spirit of the people who do the work. And that's still a relatively ... Read More Rating: - A Favorite Business BookThis is one of m new favorite business book & Have enjoyed giving it to several clients. Reading it challenged me in what kind of wake my leadership leaves behind. It also validated why I was frustrated in the past with certain leaders. Cloud takes the meaning of Integrity to a new level. Sadly, I can see many thinking that Integrity is not something that they need to be challenged on, yet his approach challenges men & women who practice integrity in business and in private. |
