I've had my share of accounts written to bad debt, and a few employees that haven't worked out, but I believe my flexibility with the people I have worked with, internally and externally, has always worked out in the long run. They are visible, real, flesh and blood -people. Exist and you will make sense to people around you on all levels. If 90-ties were fiction. Now it s fact.
Leaders live personal lives of integrity.
Sure, everyone makes dumb ethical decisions now and then, but there's a limit to what people will forgive. If you want people to follow you, listen to you, respect you, you must be above reproach. People must trust you instinctively. This notion came out piecemeal in some of the other rules, but I think it deserves a rule of its own. Leaders have learned when to be fearless and challenge things that need to be changed, and when to be Humble and accept things that are beyond their cause, but most of all the Wisdom to know the difference.
