Consistency – walking the talk – is essential to effective leadership, but sometimes it seems that circumstances make it extremely difficult to maintain. At times, characteristics like pragmatism, justification of means based on the desired outcome, or self-preservation can hinder consistency between values and actions. In your own experience, why do you think that consistency is sometimes so difficult to maintain? Please share in the comment box below.
I think there are two factors that make consistency difficult. I think first there is an internal discipline factor, and second an external variable factor.
