The keys of integrity are: system, judgment, development, and process these are the basics of an organization. Business executives with high integrity are more open to stakeholders concerns, this fact is intangible, but managers are protecting their business this way to be accountable, the judgment integrity to handle behavioral issues, and the developmental is to prepare leaders for responsibility in managing integrity as organization asset.
Ethical organizations earn the trust of others through executive’s personal integrity. Integrity refers to a completeness of character demonstrated by consistency between thoughts, words and actions. Ethical executives are principled, honorable, upright and scrupulous. They fight for their beliefs and do not sacrifice principle for expediency.
“Within an organization, integrity should not “trickle down” from the top but instead travel in a circle”, Emerson, (2010) says that It starts with the board and CEO, goes through the director of operations and department managers and on to employees at every level. But then it comes right back to where it started. Ethics and integrity mean being honest and true to the vision and mission of the organization, he explains that “At the end of the day, you have to believe that you did the best you possibly could and were as fair as you could be with everyone you came in contact with … while knowing that it’s not a perfect world,” he explains.
