A Leadership FAQ on Honor – Get Your Daily Dose

Just another reminder to choose honor today and do the right thing! Here’s an FAQ from Lee Ellis – “How would you define honor and what is its importance in personal and professional life?”

Lee’s Answer – “Honor is doing what you know is right, performing within an established moral framework and living in an honorable fashion as a leader.  It’s doing your duty, carrying out your responsibility even in the face of difficulty and even when it costs you.  It’s essential for teamwork where trust is so critical. It’s the backbone of proper execution where dependable performance is critical to success.

Without honor, relationships fail and like any organization, businesses depend on relationships for internal success.  Although the best motive for being honorable is courageously doing the right thing, the positive impact on reputation is a byproduct that cannot be discounted. There are high stakes for organizations to maintain a deep level of integrity and trust with customers, investors, or stockholders. So, making right and honorable leadership decisions has a significant impact on reputation management, too.”
