Description
This handbook for developing six crucial habits “should be on every modern leader’s desk” (Jeb Blount, bestselling author of People Follow You).
While many books focus on developing managerial competencies, most leadership failures are the result of a failure in character, not a failure in competence.
But just as you don’t get in shape by reading a fitness magazine, you don’t become a leader of character by reading a book on character. You have to do what you want to be.
Becoming a Leader of Character is a workout plan designed to develop six Habits of Character by providing small daily exercises that strengthen your character muscles—for the important tests of character all leaders face.
“You have to DO what you want to BE.” You will see this quote in the early pages of this book.
If you want to BE a great leader, a Leader of Character, you have to DO what great leaders do.
Just like good basketball players practice in order to become great basketball players, good leaders must practice in order to become great leaders.
Character is what separates great leaders—whether in sports, business, or any other vocation—from the rest of the pack.
Our character is in our own control.
We build it, sustain it, or destroy it based on our choices.
The choices we make daily prepare us for the bigger choices that will come when challenges arise.
Those daily choices are the practice drills that form our Habits of Character.
