Dialogue with Werner H. Erhard and Michael C. Jensen
“INTEGRITY: WHERE LEADERSHIP BEGINS”
Conceptions of morality, ethics, and legality involve normative virtues, Erhard and Jensen maintain; integrity, however, does not. For Erhard and Jensen, integrity is not about good or bad, right or wrong; rather, it is a condition of being whole and complete. Essentially, integrity means honoring your word: when individuals or organizations do what they said they would do by the time they said they would do it, this builds trust.
The greater the trust, the greater the opportunity for high performance, Erhard and Jensen argue. Conversely, when people apply a cost-benefit analysis to their integrity; this undermines their trustworthiness, which causes their performance to suffer.
