Integrity refers to consistency of actions, honesty and truthfulness.
Conscious Capitalism philosophy appears to be in line with our definition of integrity.
On an individual level, if you know yourself, then clarity flows through to your actions.
You build trust through consistent, sound and confident leadership that telemarketing data eliminates surprises, intolerance or irritability. If you do not know yourself, you will not be prepared to lead others until you figure “you” out. That may be your first step to leading with integrity.
Impatience refers to intolerance or irritability from anything that delays or hinders
If you are looking to win a race, you need to prepare to do so. If you do not scrutinize the details along the way, you may fail. Your impatience to just get on with it may leave you at a disadvantage. Furthermore, your competitors may have prepared, and now have a steady, consistent course strategy to win the race.
In 2013, ABC World News began reporting on a hot-button issue, the “Made in America” movement. They looked at issues concerning the cause of the shift to outsourcing, the changes in consumer demand and encouraged a reassessment of the value of buying products produced outside of the US.
In this new movement, each business involved in manufacturing the products Made in America has a leader who is proud to promote this label and believes that by doing so, they will once again increase profits here and be able to hire additional employees.
History shows that the ability of the American worker to adapt to change will be an important factor in bringing manufacturing back to the US, what the Boston Consulting Group refers to as “reshoring.”
Ultimately, will consumer demand be high enough to encourage leaders to bring manufacturing back to the US? The Made in America reporting indicated that more and more consumers will buy only American-made products such as Shinola watches and American Clothing Co. jeans.
Shinola watches made in Detroit are an American success story because the growth in sales has resulted in new jobs.
American Clothing Co.’s new denim jeans illustrate an American team effort. They’ve arranged to allow you to track the US cotton farmer behind the pair of jeans via a code put on the jeans.
The positive impact of the Made in America movement has been the creation of new jobs
Will business leaders exhibit the integrity and patience required in the difficult task of “reshoring” manufacturing back to the US? Or will impatience cause them to run the wrong race?
