Author Insight

Why Worry About Character?

The thesis of Leadership Core is that a leader needs to work on character and competence simultaneously to impact their capacity to lead at higher levels of organizational complexity. If you only work on character, people like you but don't eventually respect you. If you only work on competence, then people respect you but eventually will not like you. So, let's consider half of the formula of leadership core...character!

Book Excerpt

LeadCore_interior_Pages_ePub_030821

Character – The consistency of who you are in public and in private. It represents the soft skills of leading that reflect who you are when everyone is looking and especially when no one is looking. Character brings forward the values that define the culture. It touches the interpersonal side of work life in all the relationships necessary to reach strategic outcomes. Character is evidenced in one’s positive influence. Influence can be forced on others because of your title or position, but it will not be perceived positively, and it will not be effectively sustainable.
