I mean integrity in the larger sense of an openness to ideas and colleagues, a willingness to trust the people who work for you and surrender yourself to their strengths, and an ability to put the interests of the team ahead of the narrow, selfish interests of the individual.” Wayne Calloway, CEO, PepsiCo
