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 like you don't get in shape by reading a fitness magazine, you don't become Leader of Character by reading a book on Character. You have to DO what you want to BE! You have to habitually exercise your character muscles to be ready when the big tests come. Leaders 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 bigger character tests all leaders face.
