Top Highlights

• We can call this perceived design of alignment amidst a leader’s words and conducts, the strong connect between espoused and enacted values, the psychological contracts, promise-keeping and trustworthiness as behavioural integrity.

• The gaps between the values can be felt from organizational and managerial behaviours
