Character & Competence!

So many organizations focus on training, skills, certifications, degrees, experience, knowledge, and abilities when hiring, placement, and promotion. Why is it when you have to correct or even terminate someone it is almost always character related?

The Character Solution

There is a way to lead your team to greatness. There is hope, and there can be a light at the end of the tunnel that isn't a train. The problems we face are frequently personal character issues that cannot be solved with programs, techniques, or more hours at the office. Creating a culture of character within our organization is the solution to many of these challenges. Fortunately, there is a way to make this transformation that has been tried and proven in a myriad of arenas. (from "Making Character First" page 2)

Why do some many managers lead like a drill sergeant?

For three years I was a drill sergeant in the United States Air Force. I found it very easy to demand action and to enforce consequences if they failed to do so. What was hard was doing this while keeping their hearts. A great leader knows how to mold someone into a better person without crushing them.
