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 how you don't get in shape by
reading a fitness magazine, you don't become a Leader of Character by
reading a book on Character. You have to DO what you want to BE! 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.
