title: Principled leadership.
abstract: Leadership is not just a set of activities; it is also about vision and character. Principles matter: for you, for your coworkers, and for the group or institution you serve. Individuals and groups can succeed only through a climate of commitment and trust. Your integrity and principled leadership are the cornerstones for building an effective team. Following principles doesn't mean that you will win every time, but having a plan and sticking to it even in tough times is a strong element of long-term success.
