Eric Kail. </em> </p> <p>We’ve all had leaders who are really taken with their image in the mirror, so impressed by the power and influence they seemingly wield. They’re the center of attention, and pleasing them becomes the focus of all our efforts. It's easy for us to notice their selfishness as they push the people in our organizations to increase the bottom line. And yet they’re often unaware of just how easily we see through their shallow veneer.</p> <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/guest-insights/post/leadership-character-the-role-of-selflessness/2011/04/04/gIQALaziTI_blog.html?wprss=rss_guest-insights">Read full article &#62;&#62;</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/c/34656/f/635865/s/1f96386e/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/viral/sendEmail.cfm?lang=en&title=Leadership+character%3A+The+role+of+selflessness&link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fblogs%2Fguest-insights%2Fpost%2Fleadership-character-the-role-of-selflessness%2F2011%2F04%2F04%2FgIQALaziTI_blog.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_guest-insights" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/144544113942/u/0/f/635865/c/34656/s/1f96386e/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/144544113942/u/0/f/635865/c/34656/s/1f96386e/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/144544113942/u/0/f/635865/c/34656/s/1f96386e/a2t.img" border="0"/>Fri, 22 Jul 2011 17:13:00 GMThttp://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/guest-insights/post/leadership-character-the-role-of-selflessness/2011/04/04/gIQALaziTI_blog.html?wprss=rss_guest-insightsCol.

I can be without integrity, yet trained to behave predictably in a certain manner. Of course, discipline is valuable; but I want to know that my hands are disciplined as a result of the integrity of my soul, not my ability to follow rules without thinking about them. </p> <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/guest-insights/post/leadership-character-the-role-of-integrity/2011/04/04/gIQArZL03H_blog.html?wprss=rss_guest-insights">Read full article &#62;&#62;</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/c/34656/f/635865/s/1f963874/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/viral/sendEmail.cfm?lang=en&title=Leadership+character%3A+The+role+of+integrity&link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fblogs%2Fguest-insights%2Fpost%2Fleadership-character-the-role-of-integrity%2F2011%2F04%2F04%2FgIQArZL03H_blog.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_guest-insights" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/144544113871/u/0/f/635865/c/34656/s/1f963874/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/144544113871/u/0/f/635865/c/34656/s/1f963874/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/144544113871/u/0/f/635865/c/34656/s/1f963874/a2t.img" border="0"/>Fri, 08 Jul 2011 19:46:00 GMThttp://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/guest-insights/post/leadership-character-the-role-of-integrity/2011/04/04/gIQArZL03H_blog.html?wprss=rss_guest-insightsCol.
