“Honesty is powerful in leadership. A leader’s ability to gain and develop trust is based on the principle of honesty. Anything less is a sign of poor leadership, a lack of integrity, and a loss of reliability. Being honest is right up there with earning respect, gaining trust, and speaking with integrity – your word is your bond with your people and your organization. Build credibility, legitimacy, and ability with your honesty and see how far your leadership will take you and inspire others to follow.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
