Character & Courage

by Rick Baker
On Dec 22, 2011

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.

 

Footnote:

1. An excerpt from 'JUDGMENT - How Winning Leaders Make Great Calls', Noel M. Tichy and Warren G. Bennis, 2007
