Welcome to the Andy Stanley Leadership Podcast, a conversation designed to help leaders go

further faster. On today's podcast we're going to discuss the vital role that integrity plays

0:16.1

in the life of a leader.

0:17.1

Andy, I think integrity is something we all know when we see it, but how do you define it?
