Making Difficult Leadership Decisions with Insight, Integrity, and Empathy

The most difficult leadership decisions are complex, human, and subjective. Making great choices with integrity and empathy demands understanding your morality—not what you stand for, but what you WON'T stand for—knowing your ethical context, and clarifying your stakeholders’ views of your role responsibilities. Start now, before your next difficult decision arises: there is no such thing as apolitical leadership anymore.
