From leadership expert Dr. Jim Loehr, strengthen your moral and
ethical character for outstanding leadership results with this must-have
set.
Leading with Character: 10 Minutes a Day to a Brilliant Legacy
At the end of your life, how are you likely to be remembered? Chances
are that people won't be praising your money, power, and status.
Instead, the people you've impacted will remember you for your
compassion and personal strength--in short, your character.
Unfortunately, many leaders are unaware of their character shortcomings
and blind spots that hold so many of us back from building the lasting
legacy we are capable of.
With the right motivation, you can begin to strengthen your character
and become a moral and ethical leader capable of creating lasting
change. In Leading with Character: 10 Minutes a Day to a Brilliant
Legacy, Dr. Jim Loehr, cofounder of the Johnson & Johnson Human
Performance Institute, reveals 50 character competencies that you can
practice daily to transform your life and work.
This book will also guide you through the process of developing a
Personal Credo that will serve as your decision-making mission
statement. Most leaders never take the time to identify their own core
values, instead defaulting to a reflexive form of decision making. Gain
an awareness of the conscious and unconscious processes that guide what
you do and why you do it, and take charge of your leadership legacy.
Even good leaders are vulnerable to corruption. Read Leading with
Character to learn how human evolution and contemporary culture can
lead us astray without our even knowing it. As we work hard to get to
the top, who are we becoming along the way? If we want to become heroes
whose memories will long outlast us, we need to channel our energy into
creating habits that will add up to a strong and meaningful character.
The Personal Credo Journal: A Companion to Leading with Character
We all want to become high impact leaders with a robust ethical and
moral character, but getting there is a challenge. Dr. Jim Loehr's
Leading with Character offers a succinct plan for developing your
character as a leader and building a meaningful legacy through your
life's work. The Personal Credo Journal is a day-by-day workbook that
will guide you through the process of identifying your core values and
crafting your Personal Credo--a statement of beliefs and values that
will help you align every action and decision with your deepest held
ideals.
With these activities and exercises, you'll spend just a few minutes
each day reflecting on meaningful and thought-provoking prompts about
your life story, your personal strengths and weaknesses, and your life
goals. By the end of this life-altering, 150-day challenge, you will
have gained a deep self-knowledge and a clear vision of your path
forward as a leader. Take charge of the legacy you'll leave behind,
build character, and learn to use your Personal Credo to transform your
life.
