C.S Lewis calls this quality, "Leaders with chest". It likened the properly ordered soul to the human body: the head (reason) must rule the belly (the sensual appetites) through the chest (character and spirit). Without a strong chest, men would succumb to excuses, relativism, and compromise, hence people with no character or integrity are men without chests.

Job posses such integrity as a leader because:
1. strong security: he felt emotionally secure enough to take criticism
2. clear conscience: he kept a clear and sensitive conscience regarding sin
3. pure motives: he refused to entertain self-indulgent motives.
4. solid character: he was committed to doing the right thing at any cost.
