Synopsis

In these pages, former CEO Ben Beckhart offers a stimulating look at what is needed from leaders, both today and as we move into the future. The central tenet is that leadership can have the most significant positive impact when it is graced with a sense of character. Leaders who can do that will become role models for generations to come. This compelling principle can empower both aspiring and practicing leaders in fields ranging from business to politics and enable them to shed cynicism in favor of values that will help forge a better future for organizations, communities, and society as a whole. Lead With Character answers one key question: what can be added to the majority of today’s leaders? Ben draws on the lessons he has learned throughout his personal and professional life. He grew up bi-culturally. He led organizations across multiple borders and languages. In doing so, Ben has found that leadership models based on traditional competencies and theories fall short of the goal nurturing the traits that make us human like compassion, humility, selflessness, creativity, resilience, and the ability to define a different future, Ben charts a path towards a revolutionary new vision of leadership. His book isn’t a how-to list. It is not about developing talent or coaching skills. It is a guidepost for developing the habits that make us great leaders and good human beings.
