Becoming a leader of character : 6 habits that make or break a leader at work and at home / James L. Anderson, Dave Anderson

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.
