I am one of 21 authors from 3 countries that connected virtually, discovered a shared passion and wrote a book to encourage people that are passionate about the importance of Character-Based Leadership to rise up and make a difference!
The Character-Based Leader is a must-read for anyone who realizes that leading from who you are (rather than your title) is the key to longevity and satisfaction in any leadership role. This well-written, easy read will leave you feeling inspired and ready to take ACTION!Marshall Goldsmith New York Times Bestselling Author
The Character-Based Leader is an inspirational quilt of leadership stories, research, examples, advice and wisdom from some of the most influential voices in social media. Reading each chapter was like eating chocolate chip cookies – I couldn’t stop myself until the entire plate was finished. This book reads like a virtual dialog, with diverse, intelligent and provocative perspectives on the complex leadership characteristics of trust, integrity, respect, humility and perseverance. If you’re serious about leadership, and you’re ready to make a real commitment to change, then I’d highly recommend reading The Character-Based Leader.Dan McCarthy Author of Great Leadership
The goal of this group, all of whom are individual members of Lead Change Group, Inc., apparently is to ‘create a leadership revolution so that ‘character becomes the top priority in evaluating and developing leaders.’ And, those of us who read the book, learn and apply the information and wise teachings, are in an excellent position to be a part of that very worthy vision and outcome.Bob Burg Author of The Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek Bestseller, The Go-Giver
I am convinced that once organizational health is properly understood and placed into the right context it will surpass all other disciplines in business as the greatest opportunity for improvement and competitive advantage. Really.
My Grandfather was a WWII Battle of the Bulge Veteran and although his nature was to accept whatever life handed him and to move on, the memories of the brokenness and devastation that the war created left a shadow of questions that haunted him.
For years he did his best to cope, while raising a large family and tending to a farm. When his youngest grandchildren started asking about the war he found some healing by sharing stories with family and fellow veterans, but the questions themselves remained.
In 2004, 60 years after the battle he accompanied a number of veterans back to those battlefields. Considering the devastation of the homes, the cities and the lives that were directly impacted by the battles, grandpa was not sure what kind of a welcome they would receive. Much to his surprise, everywhere they went they were treated as heroes!
