LEADERSHIP INTEGRITY
Gray Integrity Leadership Instrument (GILI)
GILI assists organizations and leaders in understanding their strength and opportunity areas related to integrity.
This 50-item 360° Instrument identifies and measures three dimensions of integrity: Intrapersonal, Interpersonal and Organizational.
INTEGRITY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT:
- Sustains leaders who are continually challenged to compromise from internal and external pressure which can affect business outcomes and employees
- Enables a leader to hold firm to values and ethical standards
- Maintains consistency of action and values
- Allows leaders to behave according to what they profess to hold true
- Affects trust, dependability, respect, which influences interactions and access
- Preserves a leader or organization’s standing in the public and private arenas
