Publisher's summary

Integrity. It is more than simple honesty. It's the key to success. A person with integrity has the, often rare, ability to pull everything together, to make it all happen no matter how challenging the circumstances.

Drawing on experiences from his work with Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and individual leaders, Dr. Henry Cloud, a clinical psychologist and nationally syndicated radio host, shows how our character can keep us from achieving all we want to (or could) be.

In Integrity, Dr. Cloud explores the six qualities of character that define integrity. He uses stories from well-known business leaders like Michael Dell and sports figures like Tiger Woods to illustrate each of these qualities. He shows us how people with integrity:

  • Are able to connect with others and build trust
  • Are oriented toward reality
  • Finish well
  • Embrace the negative
  • Are oriented toward increase
  • Have an understanding of the transcendent

Success is not related to only talent or brains. There are a lot of bright, talented people who are never successful. And the most successful are not only the ones with the most talent. The real factor, Cloud demonstrates, is the makeup of the person. All of us can grow in the kinds of real character that bring about fruitful relationships and achievement of purpose, mission, and goals. Integrity is not something that you either have or don't, but instead is an exciting growth path that all of us can engage in and enjoy.

Critic reviews

"Cloud's conversational writing style makes for an easy read, and much of his advice is sound." (Publishers Weekly)

"The author, a quick and spontaneous speaker, is a clinical and corporate psychologist who is down-to-earth and enthusiastic as he unpacks the components of reality functioning that are important to success and fulfillment. It's a remarkable audio achievement that the richness and complexity of these ideas don't sound intellectualized. The author's gift in this regard allows the enormous value in his thinking to have practical value for anyone whose life needs adjustment." (AudioFile)

An unexpected understanding

Not what I thought it would be. However, it gave me a very different way to look at integrity and how it is developed as a character trait. Very well done. I will see what other titles Dr. Cloud has available.

Challenging

While reading this book I was challenged as a leader to reflect on my abilities as a leader and where my “integrity” is at any given. I was pleased to read and understand that all of us have areas for improvement especially when it comes to integrity.

I liked "Boundries for leaders" more

More complicated to listen, don't even know why, but information is legit. Last part was brilliant, though.

Not what you think

I read this book bc I love “all things Cloud”.
I assumed it was about how to live right, be honest and noble. It was more then that. It taught me how to push through hard times, changed my perspective on how life comes at you, snd once again helped me learn what better choices to make as a business owner. You will never go wrong with any of his books. He is a brilliant mind, come to life in a book.

Exposes Blind Spots

There are aspects of me that would have continued to hold me back if I had not listened to this book. I plan to go back through it, take notes and follow up to shore up my gaps that historically have proven costly.My suspicion is this is will end up being one of a handful of the most impactful audiobooks I will ever listen to.
