There are three main factors of what constitutes integrity in a leader:

Trust
Honesty
Empathy.
Trust and Effective Organizational Leadership
Trust is the essence of integrity. Without trust you cannot have integrity. In an organization, a leader that is not trusted by their subordinates in essences is not a true leader. He or she may be ambitious and competent, but without trust they cannot have integrity and will fail as a leader. Managers for example may be ambitious and competent, but they will never be an effective leader without the trust of their subordinates.

Honesty and Effective Organizational Leadership
Honesty is the precursor to trust. A leader must be truthful and honest when interacting with subordinates, as well as others in an organization. Once a leader is perceived to be dishonest, they are also thought to be untrustworthy. The only types of individuals that would place trust in a dishonest person, are those individuals that are dishonest.

Empathy and Effective Organizational Leadership
Empathy means to put one's self into someone else’s shoes and to truly understand how they feel about a given situation. A true leader should demonstrate empathy by their actions and how they treat others. An extremely important part of gaining trust is to truly understand how someone else feels. A true leader pulls people into accomplishing their goals, not through coercion but through empathy for the feeling of others.

There are three main components for effective leadership, competency, enthusiasm and integrity. Of the three main components, integrity is the most important. Effective leadership starts with honesty, trust and empathy.
