I have written about this topic so many times it almost feels like I’m addicted to it. I keep writing about it because so many crappy, unethical people in leadership positions tell me it’s not that big of a deal. They are completely, utterly, often fatally wrong. As wrong as wrong can be. Of the many characteristics of authentic, effective leadership, integrity stands above them all. The fact is that absent integrity, there can be no true leadership.

Leaders have a particular condition that causes them to make mistakes… they are human beings. That’s not the worst part either; the worst part is that those mistakes can lead to failures.

They know that learning from leadership failures is one of the most valuable ways to grow as a leader.

I wonder if there is anyone alive who doesn’t, or does, remember the group called Stealers Wheel and their hit song, “Stuck in the Middle With You.” No? Well, how about a song called “Waterloo” by a group called ABBA? That group, and their music, is much, much easier to remember. The first group is known in the music industry as a “one hit wonder.” They had one song that briefly took off, but the rest of their songs, not so much.
