Do What’s Right, Even When It Hurts

Integrity in leadership means doing what is right even when it costs you time, money, comfort, or approval. From refusing to cut corners to telling the truth and setting the right example, strong leaders build trust by choosing what is right over what is easy.

Before becoming President, Abraham Lincoln was a partner in a general store that failed miserably. His partner bailed and didn’t leave any money to pay any of the debt left behind. Lincoln took on the burden of paying all the debt. He nicknamed it the national debt. It took him a few years, but he finally paid all of it off.

He did the right thing, even when it hurt.

That’s a standard for me personally, and one I expect of the EAG team. We do the right thing, even when it hurts.

Is it easy? No.

Does it lead to creating unparalleled experiences? Yes.
