An excerpt1, about Character & Courage:
To Sustain Good Judgment, a Leader Must Have Character and Courage
- Character provides the moral compass.
- Courage produces the results.
People With Character Have Clear Standards
- They take responsibility and hold themselves accountable.
- They value self-respect over public esteem.
Maintaining Standards in the Face of Obstacles Requires Courage
- Character without courage is meaningless.
- Courage without character is dangerous.
Spirited Leaders values Courage. I mean Courage is our highest-ranked personal/corporate Value. The above excerpt...well, we could not say it better ourselves...so we embrace and 'relay' the wisdom of Tichy and Bennis.
