Short YouTube clip (Donald Burns) advising leaders that integrity and keeping promises are foundational to team trust and effective leadership. He warns that breaking commitments or sending mixed messages erodes respect and makes it difficult to lead, and urges leaders to model their stated expectations through actions.

Your word is your bond with the team. Trust builds great teams, and if it's lost, it's very hard to recover and rebuild. When you lack integrity, you lose respect. You're gonna find it's very difficult to lead anyone. You must make it your mission to do what you say, when you say you're gonna do it. Telling the team one thing but doing something different sends mixed messages to your team. As the leader, they look to you for your actions as an example.
