Integrity and KindExcellence

By

Reut Schwartz-Hebron

 
KindExcellence is a new management model that provides an alternative—a resilient, competitive management style that brings in a combination of skills (leading to individual and team excellence) and kindness.

 
KindExcellence promises sky high productivity, innovation, commitment and other critical human assets that are so often out of reach for most managers.

 
But there is no KindExcellence without integrity.

Productivity, innovation, and commitment come from people, and we are sensitive creatures.

 

I met with a CEO of new start up in the telecommunications industry the other day. This guy had built a new company a little under a year ago and it is already successfully competing against the giant companies in its industry.

 

How did such a small company manage to position itself so well in such a short time?

 

The answer is simple: it’s all about knowledge and expertise (the products they are developing require expertise on multi levels and dimensions) and when we talk about knowledge and expertise we talk about people.

 

For years this CEO has set such example of excellence and personal integrity that when asked everyone who knew him followed. He was able to build a company in a day, literally, by instantly “stealing” the top minds in the industry from his competition.

 

We pour millions to send employees to retreats, on motivational bonuses, complex review processes, you name it. He’s done none of that. He combined the highest standards of integrity with excellence and people were willing to jump on board instantly, to follow him to the moon and back.

 

How much money is integrity worth in your business?
