Personal integrity leads to peace of mind, personal worth, and intrinsic security. The leader must always work from an ethical base; the art of leadership depends on value judgments. The leader’s personal ability to discriminate between right and wrong may be the only resource at his disposal. Time may not permit him to consult with others. He must stand up for his beliefs, even if he stands alone.
The
expedient and the right courses of action may coincide; if not, the
leader must choose and we must prepare him for his choice by
reinforcing, throughout his career, the ethical base as the source of
his decisions.
Admiral C.A.H. Trost
