Someone who communicates with integrity says what they mean, clearly and consistently. Someone who demonstrates tact and diplomacy communicates in such a way as to also gain trust and cooperation, particularly in the workplace.
When you come across as lacking integrity in our communications, you appear less credible often causing team members to question your motives, resist our authority and ultimately give you less than their best efforts. The quality of your communication can make or break your professional image as it directly influences how others view your work as well as your character.
No matter what the situation, whether it is facing an angry customer or engaging in a tense negotiation, to build and maintain credibility, you must be tactful and diplomatic.
