One of my favorite authors is Robert Kiyosaki, and on a number of occasions as I read his material, I run across a really profound thought:
Those who cannot keep small commitments won’t help you make your big dreams come true.
This is really interesting as I can think of several applications……
One of the most important qualities of an excellent leader is the ability to act with integrity. Having integrity means living according in a manner consistent with your values. In other words, it means doing what you know is right—even if it is difficult. Leaders will frequently be faced with tough choices, and those choices will not necessarily make us popular or likeable. Once a leader starts making easy choices instead of right choices, that person can lose credibility with others.
It probably is not too difficult to come up with examples where we (or someone we know) has had to confront a difficult situation and choose not only between right and wrong, but also choosing between what is right and what is easy.
