Discover the secret to successful leadership: a strong moral character What do great leaders like Abe Lincoln, Rosa Parks, Mahatma Gandhi, Susan B. Anthony, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela have in common? While they hailed from different backgrounds and possessed various skills, all of their accomplishments stemmed from one crucial trait: strength of character. In today's world, where politicians distort facts, corporations deceive customers and investors, and athletes rely on illegal supplements, character is more important than ever. The authors of The Character Edge, experts on the subject, argue that raw talent alone is insufficient; successful leadership depends on a foundation of strong moral values and habits. General Robert L. Caslen, Jr., a 43-year veteran of the US Army and former Superintendent at West Point, and psychologist Dr. Michael D. Matthews, a Professor of Engineering Psychology at West Point, draw on their extensive experience and the latest scientific research to demonstrate that character is vital to success. They provide readers with tools to build and sustain character in themselves and their organizations, including tests for assessing strengths of the gut, head, and heart, and strategies for building trust and nurturing the seeds of character. Whether you're a seasoned leader or just starting out, The Character Edge offers an empowering, story-driven guide to developing the key ingredient for leadership success. Learn how to cultivate character to achieve your goals, inspire others, and create a lasting impact. They give readers the tools to build and sustain character in themselves and their organizations by testing readers' strengths of the gut, head and heart and teaching how to build trust and nurture the seeds of character.
