Episode 42
In this episode, Tom breaks down a word most leaders think they already understand — integrity — and shows why it's actually three separate qualities, not one: incorruptibility (telling the truth even when a lie would protect you), soundness (holding up under real, sustained pressure), and wholeness (being the same person in every room you walk into). Tom shares a personal story of catching himself shading the truth to protect his own reputation, plus a hard-earned lesson on structural integrity under pressure from his years managing hurricane recovery in the utility industry. This episode builds on the "who are you depending on the room" idea first explored in Episode 39 — link below. You'll walk away with one honest question to sit with this week, and one action step to actually close the gap.
