Element I- The Four Foundational Factors of Leadership:
Integrity (in our model a positive phenomenon): Being whole and complete – achieved by “honoring one’s word” (creates workability, develops trust).
Authenticity: Being and acting consistent with who you hold yourself out to be for others, and who you hold yourself to be for yourself. When leading, being authentic leaves you grounded, and able to be straight without using force.
Being Committed to Something Bigger than Oneself: Source of the serene passion (charisma) required to lead and to develop others as leaders, and the source of persistence (joy in the labor of) when the path gets tough.
Being Cause in the Matter: By “Being Cause in the Matter” we mean being cause in the matter of everything in your life as a stand you take for yourself and life – and acting from that stand. This contrasts with it being your fault, or that you failed, or that you are to blame, or even that you did it. It is not true that you are the cause of everything in your life. Rather, that you are the cause of everything in your life is a place to stand from which to view and deal with life
