Mastering Leadership Integrity: The Breaking News Test

Discover the Truth!

In the chapter “Breaking News” from our book “Lead Like a Leader,” we tackle the crucial balance between leadership and social activities, emphasizing the importance of maintaining professional integrity. The chapter introduces a powerful decision-making tool: the “Breaking News” test. When faced with potentially compromising situations, leaders should ask themselves how they would feel if their actions made headlines.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Trust Your Instincts: Pay attention to your gut feelings when facing ethical dilemmas.
  2. Use the “Breaking News” Test: Evaluate your decisions by considering how they would be perceived by others.
  3. Prioritize Leadership Responsibilities: Recognize that excessive partying can undermine your credibility.
  4. Understand Long-Term Consequences: Consider how your behavior impacts your professional reputation.
  5. Lead by Example: Demonstrate professionalism and integrity in all situations.

This chapter reminds us that while socializing is part of professional life, leaders must be mindful of their conduct, especially after hours. Remember, “nothing good happens after 11 p.m.” A leader’s primary objective is to inspire, not just to party!
