Integrity -- more than simple honesty, it's the key to success. A person
with integrity has the ability to pull everything together, to make it
all happen no matter how challenging the circumstances. Drawing on
experiences from his work, Dr. Henry Cloud, a clinical psychologist and
nationally syndicated radio host, shows how our character can keep us
from achieving all we want to (or could) be.
In Integrity, Dr. Cloud explores the six qualities of character that
define integrity, and how people with integrity:
- Are able to connect with others and build trust
- Are oriented toward reality
- Finish well
- Embrace the negative
- Are oriented toward increase
- Have an understanding of the transcendent
Success is not related to only talent or brains. The real factor, Cloud
demonstrates, is the makeup of the person. All of us can grow in the
kinds of real character that brings about fruitful relationships and
achievement of purpose, mission, and goals. Integrity is not something
that you either have or don't, but instead is an exciting growth path
that all of us can engage in and enjoy.
