Leaders are like parents in that what they role-model speaks far more loudly than what they say. Leaders who are awake and transparent about their own shortcomings, and the impact these have, role-model a key integrity quality that is sorely lacking in today's world: self-responsibility. Role-modeling is one of the important ingredients in the integrity stimulus plan I have provided as a public service on my website to help us recover as a society from having fallen into the trap of greed, entitlement, and narcissism.

Leadership starts with recognizing our own shortcomings and seeing the impact they have on others. Excellent point about the 3 dimensional aspect of integrity, especially self-integrity.
