Direct, personal feedback really is the simplest and most effective form of motivation. - Patrick Lencioni

An organization has integrity — is healthy — when it is whole, consistent, and complete, that is, when its management, operations, strategy, and culture fit together and make sense.

The essence of a cohesive leadership team is trust, which is marked by an absence of politics, unnecessary anxiety, and wasted energy. Every executive wants to achieve this, but few are able to do so because they fail to understand the roots of these problems, the most damaging of which is politics.

If we don't trust one another, then we aren't going to engage in open, constructive, ideological conflict.
