Behind the Scenes

...leadership happens when no one else is watching.

Well, many of us deal with daily decisions that have to be made when no one else knows.  Integrity is something that many talk about, but most don't know how to define or live it out.  It can be easy to make the right decision when little is on the line.  Decisions that don't have a big cost or take little consideration, are simple and easy for most people to make.

Leaders that have influence and continue to have influence will need to make the right and moral decision, no matter the cost.  As you move forward and gain leadership over others and in your life, be prepared to make the decision that will be difficult when no one else would know and no one else is watching you.  What if that right decision meant you losing a shot at a contract worth millions?  What if making the right decision seemed to go against what everyone else is doing and no one would care or know any different no matter what you chose.  That is integrity!  Integrity isn't always an obvious decision but something that is right, moral and Biblical.

Integrity isn't the norm, it's not always easy and you may not be the most popular.  There is prosperity and blessing for those that do what's right and live with integrity.  What you lose because you made the right decision will come back to you ten-fold!  I've been challenged this week and I challenge you to be a leader that lives and breathes integrity even when no one else is watching.
