Shownotes

In this episode Sonja Stirnimann discusses the critical role of integrity in leadership decision-making, especially during strategic resets in September. She emphasizes that integrity should not just be a value but a decision filter, as financial stress can lead to prioritizing speed over ethical considerations. The episode highlights the importance of embedding integrity into goals and decision rights, and the need for courageous challenges in discussions to ensure that integrity is not overlooked. Sonja Stirnimann provides prompts for leaders to reassess their approach to integrity and resilience as strategic assets in a rapidly changing business environment.

Takeaways

• Financial stress can lead to deprioritizing ethical considerations.

• High-speed decision-making can mask important discussions.

• Integrity and resilience are strategic assets in leadership.

• Investors and customers assess trust and accountability.

• No strategy survives execution if ethically fragile.
