Leading with Character First

Leading with Character First is not always easy. To live a life of Character is one of the toughest challenges we all face today in our society and culture. However, the rewards far outweigh any downside. I encourage you to study a book or go to a seminar or conference on character and/or leadership in the near future.

Challenge yourself to be a better leader and a better follower, because only then can you really align people, passions and positions for maximum performance.

“Character in Motion.”

The main theme of one of my seminars was “Character is Evidenced through Leadership Behavior.” Ask yourself, “What is the cost to business and the bottom line if we don’t grow as a leader and lead that growth with character? If we don’t grow as a leader, we will not be consistent in who we want to be, and regardless of our technical skills, people will see the real character of who we are through our behavior. We are all operating in our natural behavior so much so, that our values get ignored. We need to be focused on how we can reconnect with those values and demonstrate character growth through behavior development.

Remember that character skills get built just like technical and people skills.  Want to know more about how to Lead with Character in Life?  You can read the Foreword and Chapter #1 of my book on Amazon here:  The Tricycle Effect. 

Until next time, Keep Leading with Character First!

Trike On!  Coach Dane
