Truth and Ethical Leadership<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This week, I\u2019ll take a look at the role truth plays in ethical leadership. At a time when \u201ctruth\u201d itself is elusive, how does finding the truth come into play in ethical leadership? <\/p>\n

Ethical Leaders Make a Point To:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Approach issues with uncertainty and curiosity<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Seek truth and speak truth<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Stay media literate<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Seek out reputable objective sources, question motives, and dig into data<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Understand that truth, like ethics, is multidimensional<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Stay open minded and willing to change and grow<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Cut through \u201cinformation pollution\u201d to discern the most important variables<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The quest for truth is one of the most important elements of leading responsibly in a global society. You can\u2019t be an ethical leader without it. <\/p>\n
