Integrity

The Courage to Meet the Demands of Reality

De: Henry Cloud

Narrado por: Henry Cloud

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

Very educational

If you are someone looking to expand your mind, it's good read! Good use of my time.

Much needed book to help ME GROW into INTEGRITY.

Absolutely loved the book. Great investment in myself and those who are connected to me.

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.

An Audiobook That Everyone Should Hear

I only downloaded this book a couple of days ago and I'm already on my second listen. Harry Cloud speaks very well and seems to truly know his subject matter. Although nothing is truly ground-breaking or life-altering about this book it is a great reminder about why we should strive to improve our character and our integrity. He says we should do it not just for its own sake but because it will help us in every aspect of our lives, from our careers to our relationships.

While I was listening, I found myself applying what he said to myself and also the people that I know. It helped me more fully understand what it takes to become "integrated" and more respected and liked by others.

Brilliant

highly recommended for any and all leaders. brilliant! the principles taught will help you grow from wherever you are to where you need and want to be.

Good read on integrity

I loved listening to this book! I highly recommend this book because it is a quick read.

Understanding integrity for real

It’s way more faceted than we believe. Eye opening. Thank you Dr Cloud. You helped me to wrap words around what it really means to have integrity and the exercises to ensure, if integrity is important to someone, what to focus on and how to bring it all together. An invaluable hiring tool and may I humbly suggest when you read this book, you start with your own self evaluation (with integrity). If more would read this, the world would definitely change for the better. Again, Thank you Dr Cloud.

Practical leadership growth and mindset explained

I have enjoyed Henry Cloud as an Author, Narrator and Speaker for about 5 years now! I always walk away thinking where am I and how can I change & improve to get better results. Thank you again for not letting me down! Great Book!

Less than ideal audio

While I appreciate the author's time and effort in narration, his voice was soft, difficult to hear at times.
