Integrity in Business Leads to Achievement

When your behavior matches your values, you have integrity. By values, I mean your business principles, personal values, and vision. When your behavior and values are aligned, you feel good about what you're doing. Your self-esteem rises and so does your success rate!

Some examples in which values and behavior don't match might be:

• Valuing honesty, yet cheating on your income taxes.
• Telling employees to be on time, but being late yourself.
• Expecting others to stay within a budget, but exceeding your own.
• Wanting a successful business, but refusing to learn the financial side.
• Valuing promises to keep a deadline, but procrastinating and missing it.

Live up to the expectations you set for others, and they are more likely to follow. Set and example.

Sticking with you values has important long-term benefits. Others know that you keep your word and they depend on you. As your reputation grows so does your influence. Because of this, more people want to work with and for you.
