Answer:

People for top positions in organization must have clear sense of right and wrong and courage and honesty to say the truth.

Explanation:

The main idea of a paragraph is one which the authors wants to prove with the help of examples, evidences, or by appealing to emotions, logic, or moral values. This idea is the backbone and purpose of the paragraph.

In this case, the authors is trying to persuade the readers of the importance of clarity of thought, courage and honesty to say the truth for people on top positions on an organization. He opines that these qualities are even more important than intelligence and substantive knowledge. The author has just named these qualities, he is yet to prove (mat be later) that why and how these qualities are more important than other qualities.
