Virtuous Leadership

Virtuous Leadership!
A colleague of mine recently recommended a book, Virtuous Leadership that I just finished reading.  I recommend it highly (Scepter Publishers) for the following reasons:

 - as a leadership trainer of over 25 years and graduate of the premier leadership development institution in the world, US Military Academy at West Point, true leadership does boil down to character:  magnanmity (striving toward great things), humility, prudence, courage, and self-control.

- I 'dog-eared' the book at 34 different places.  A CEO of a software company riding on airline flight with me noticed, and asked me about the book:  I replied that the amount of dog-eared pages to reference-later was a sign of the utility and relevance of the book to me.

Just look at the ethics crises we've experienced in white-collar crime, not to mention the denegration of families.  If you're a father, you need to read the book.  If you're a leader, it's a must read just like Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (Dr. Stephen Covey) or How to Win Friends & Influence People (Dale Carnegie).

The book is brief (170 pages), well-organized and full of useful, relevant example stories of people who demonstrated the virtues of leadership.  You can purchase the book via my Amazon store or visiting the publisher, Scepter Publishers.  Leaders are constantly learning, & I'd recommend this book to you.
