Integrity the manifestation of character

We shall first look into the meaning of the two; integrity and character.
              what is integrity? 
Integrity is the manifestation of character, which is oneself of self. The protector of leadership and the preserver of vision are integrity and character. Integrity is the essential prerequisite for successful leadership. Integrity is from the root meaning "integrated" or to be "one".

It's quite unfortunate that within this few years there has been alarming of
recession, people are suffering from hunger and starvation, unemployment and high rate or increase in cost of living. We applause bad government to bad and unqualified leaders. It has not been auguring well for those who have been looking up to leaders to guide them through the alternatives of daily living. Because we trust leaders to be examples. We have to also learn "a person of integrity and having integrity with people"

Many leaders could not themselves navigate the temptation of life. Our leaders are failing us as we repose confidence in them for giving us standard living and stable government. They are not "integrated", they lack the quality of "one".

              what is character?
Character is from four principles: fixed, predictable, image, and statue. Character implies something that's unchanging and firm. Fixed means it's stable and set; predictable means it can be trusted and sustain expectations; image mean its nature is inherent and reflects its essence.

Throughout the pages of recorded history, in the wake of human development and civilization are scattered and sad stories of great men and women who rose to impressive position of leadership influence. The exercised skill, courage, bravery, expertise, passion, power, vision and charisma, a sense of purpose, faith, resilience, commitment, dedication and all the other qualities and characteristics we admire in all leaders. Sadly most of them failed in the most common area of hunan experience, the area of character.

Having character and integrity means having an integrated self. Who you are, what you say, what you do, and how you appear are all one. This means there is no dichotomy or division in your person. You are not one thing in public and another in private. You must know that you are the same in the dark as you are in the light.

Character is present in what you say, and what you do is who you are. This is the missing ingredient in leadership today. And it must be restored to the position of number-one priority. It's so appalling that most of our leaders seem to be characters but have none. We have to make it happen, with our right character and integrity we can make good and great leaders of our time.

Note: there is big difference between being a character and having character.
Character you must know is what you do when no one is watching or what you do if no one would ever find out.
