<p><b>THE INTEGRITY DIVIDEND</b> <p>"<i>If you walk the talk, practice what you preach, stand up for your beliefs, put your money where your mouth is, follow through on your promises—do what you say you will do—your business will make more money. You will also be more trusted, more powerful, more personally successful, have more loyal and committed people, and be more at peace with yourself."</i></br> <i> —</i>FROM THE FOREWORD BY JIM KOUZES <p>CORPORATE AND GOVERNMENT scandals continue to deepen our mistrust of leaders.
