The Philosophy of Integer Leadership Consulting

Why INTEGER Leadership Consulting?

The word INTEGER is the Latin word for WHOLE. The underlying philosophy of ILC is that Leadership that grows people and organizations begins from a place of inner wholeness. There are four dimensions to this inner wholeness:

Effective Leaders have a teleology (sense of ultimate purpose) that compels them to serve others.These leaders know “why they are here” and this sense of ultimate purpose is reflected in their passion for growing people, creating healthy organizations and contributing to the local and global community. They are less occupied about their own agenda and focus instead on an agenda that advances people, purpose, values and vision…all of which directly impact the culture and performance of the organization.

Effective Leaders lead from a place of competency and knowledge. Because they lead from an informed core…their center…these leaders are men and women who offer sound, solid and consistent leadership to those they lead and serve. Furthermore, they have the inner capacity and resources to restore and rebuild people and organizational synergy.

Effective Leaders lead from a place of inner moral soundness. Because they are clear on the soundness of their convictions, beliefs and values and the importance of living their convictions, Integer-based Leaders are consistent, balanced, unbiased and impartial in conversation and action. Their actions are not based on maintaining power or popularity but on what is needed and necessary to advance the welfare of people and the mission of the organization.

Effective Leaders continually seek and experience inner renewal. These leaders search-out ways to keep themselves restored, refreshed and spiritually focused. They understand that their ability to lead hinges on their ability to be continually and systematically renewed in their inner being. They are always learning…always enhancing and broadening their ability to contribute. They never “arrive.”
