Integrity. It is more than simple honesty.
It's the key to success. A person with integrity has the
-- often rare -- ability to pull everything together, to
make it all happen no matter how challenging the circumstances.
Drawing on experiences from his work with
Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and individual leaders,
Dr. Henry Cloud, a clinical psychologist and nationally
syndicated radio host, shows how our character can keep
us from achieving all we want to (or could) be.
In Integrity, Dr. Cloud explores
the six qualities of character that define integrity. He
uses stories from well-known business leaders like Michael
Dell and sports figures like Tiger Woods to illustrate each
of these qualities. He shows us how people with integrity:
Are able to connect with others and build
trust
- Are oriented toward reality
- Finish well
- Embrace the negative
- Are oriented toward increase
- Have an understanding of the transcendent
Success is not related to only talent or
brains. There are a lot of bright, talented people who are
never successful. And the most successful are not only the
ones with the most talent. The real factor, Cloud demonstrates,
is the makeup of the person. All of us can grow in the kinds
of real character that bring about fruitful relationships
and achievement of purpose, mission, and goals. Integrity
is not something that you either have or don't, but instead
is an exciting growth path that all of us can engage in
and enjoy
Dr. Henry Cloud is a clinical psychologist
with an extensive background in both the clinical and professional
consulting world, and he has a well-established private
consulting practice in California. He is an international
speaker and the coauthor of the best-selling Boundaries,
Nine Things You Simply Must Do, Changes That
Heal, and numerous other books. He has been a guest on
many radio and television shows and networks and written
for numerous publications.
