Why Integrity has Become a Business Advantage, Not Just a Personal Value
Watch Keith Wyche discuss the motivation behind
Uncommon Leadership on ASBN.
I ran a large public company for eleven years. If I’d had this book when I started, I would have made different decisions. Not because I didn’t have integrity, but because I didn’t have the language for it. Wyche has given the next generation of leaders the vocabulary I wish I had. Buy it. Then buy a copy for the leader you’re trying to raise up.
Uncommon Leadership does something rare, it doesn’t apologize for its faith foundation, and it
doesn’t push it on the reader who doesn’t share it. Keith writes like a man who has lived every
principle he preaches. His chapter on planting trees you’ll never sit under moved me to tears. This
is the book I’ve been trying to write my whole career.
I keep a very short shelf of books I actually recommend to senior leaders. This one now sits on it.
My only complaint is that the diagnosis chapters could have been half as long. Wyche is at his best
when he moves from what’s broken to how we rebuild. The Five Commitments and the closing
Five Fs framework are pure gold.
The first three chapters should be mandatory reading before any CEO succession discussion.
Wyche’s diagnosis the thirst for power over service, the reward of results over character, the
collapse of trust, is not new. But he assembles the evidence in a way that made me rethink how
our board evaluates candidates. This book will change how I ask questions in the interview room.
I don’t have a corner office, and I felt like this book was written directly to me. The P.E.P.
framework: 50% performance, 25% exposure, 25% perception should be taught in every business
school. If you’re early in your career and tired of watching the wrong people get rewarded, this is a
north star.
As the chief HR officer of a 12,000-person company, I have watched engagement decline while
leaders around me shrug. Keith’s book is the first one I’ve read that names the real cost to the
workforce, to the community, and yes, to the shareholder. I’m putting it on the required list for
every new manager we promote.
