About the Book
"What does it mean to have character as a business leader, and how does this lead to company success? Many have given partial answers to these questions, but very few have gone beyond individual stories to attempt a rigorous, research-based account of what really constitutes character and how it translates to performance. Leadership author and adviser Fred Kiel provides a fascinating and useful breakdown of the elements of character; how they are formed and how character is different from emotional intelligence and personality; and then an illuminating picture of how character fits into a larger "CEO value chain" necessary for success"--
