We demand integrity in senior political leaders because we grant them so much power over us. But we want to trust everyone in our lives: family members, friends, colleagues and professional people. For example, we need to trust waiters and hairdressers to do a good job for us but they have little to gain by deceiving us. So, when they disappoint us, it's not as momentous as a moral failing in a high profile leader. We feel let down by integrity lapses in leaders because we expect so much of them: we want them to improve the fundamental quality of our lives.
Virtually no one is completely honest. Who has not, for example, failed to stop at traffic lights, cheated on exams, padded expenses or exaggerated achievements to look good in a job interview? Many of us have what we might call "convenient values." We live up to them only when they don't prevent us from doing what we want. So, why is anyone dishonest? Reasons are complex, but they include the feelings of being entitled to something and being able to get away with it. People in high places feel that their power makes them untouchable. Also, because there is so much more to gain by bending the rules in high places, the temptation must be enormous. Because high profile leaders are so driven to stay in power, only the rarest of leaders can put principles ahead of personal interest when they are threatened with losing their exalted status.
