IL #675 When Integrity Interrupts Momentum


Listen Later

What happens when doing the right thing threatens to derail progress?

In this episode, we follow Rachel Kim, a newly promoted Operations Manager at Bradley & Co. Solutions, who uncovers a pricing oversight that could help her meet an aggressive cost-savings target. The issue isn't illegal. No one would notice. Colleagues even encourage her to "let it ride." But something deeper is at stake: integrity.

Rachel faces a defining leadership moment—not in a crisis, but in a quiet decision that no one expects her to correct. As pressure mounts and cultural norms nudge her toward compromise, Rachel seeks wisdom and chooses to speak up. The cost? Slower progress. The reward? A conscience aligned with conviction.

This story reflects the quiet courage of Daniel (Daniel 1), who resolved not to compromise, even when no one else would have questioned him. His influence began not with dramatic heroics, but with small decisions grounded in faith.

If you've ever felt tension between your values and your goals, this episode will speak directly to you. Leadership integrity isn't tested by headlines—it's tested by habits. And sometimes, the most important decisions are the ones no one sees.
