Integrity Class Summary

Keynote Speaker, Stephen Mansfield

Quotes:

"We often think of integrity as simply about morals—right and wrong—but in its ancient meaning, it’s something much bigger. Integrity meant wholeness, soundness, being complete. In ancient Rome, a legionnaire would slam his fist against his armor and shout ‘Integros!’ to signal to his commander, ‘I am whole. I am ready.’ That’s what true integrity is—being solid in every aspect of life."

"Many times, when someone crosses moral boundaries, it’s not because they don’t know right from wrong. It’s because they are already in a fractured condition—mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Integrity isn’t just about making the right choices; it’s about maintaining wholeness so that when the pressure comes, you don’t collapse."

"One of the most common factors in leadership crashes is being out of season. There are rhythms to life, seasons we are meant to be in, and when we ignore those, we set ourselves up for failure. Time and time again, I’ve sat with leaders who crashed, and they pounded the table saying, ‘I knew I was out of season, but I didn’t fix it.’"

"As leaders—whether in business, church, or our families—we have a responsibility to cultivate a culture where confrontation isn’t feared but embraced. If no one in your organization, in your marriage, or in your community feels comfortable calling you out, that’s a problem."
