The Integrity Advantage
Building Trust and Enhancing Performance

The author takes attendees through real examples of real managers in action and reveals the key behaviors and characteristics that can strengthen your leaders' capacity for developing and sustaining trust in their business lives.

Gostick will teach participants how to resolve conflicts and tensions on the basis of principles, not positions. He also shows how taking the high road will create a competitive advantage for leaders and their businesses:

• To help leaders gauge and enhance their own personal level
of integrity
• To recognize and hire people of character
• To build a culture of integrity throughout your organization

Here’s the bottom line: If employees don’t believe their leaders are honest, they won’t follow them.
