Abstract
Research shows that unethical behavior of leaders is the most important cause of bankruptcy and financial failures. Researchers have concluded that the structure of any board of directors in terms of the personal integrity of its members and of the executive, nonexecutive, and independent directors has considerable impact upon the success or failure of a company. Therefore, the corporate governance codes around the world strongly advocate a focus on personal integrity development within organizations.
“Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people.”
