Act With Integrity
Acting with integrity is a simple concept to understand. We wrote earlier about operating within a set of principles (see Idea 19). These principles are based on your personal values. Your behaviors should, then, conform consistently to those principles. If your principles are clear, and you act according to those principles consistently, then you have integrity.
The key here is consistency. Having integrity means behaving in predictable ways based on your principles. As others learn your principles by observing your actions, they will begin to expect certain behaviors of you. That provides predictability and it also indicates to people that you have a clear set of principles on which you base all your actions.
