    [synopsis] => Character is something intrinsic to us all; it forms and reveals who we are. Unbeknownst to many, character is foundational to our judgment, behavior, and leadership. As we tackle the grand challenges of our time, strength of character guides us to make better decisions, creates greater well-being, and contributes to human flourishing. For those who lead - whether in the public, private, not for profit, or education sectors - a greater understanding of character will challenge your thinking, inspire new ideas, and elevate your personal and professional performance.		
	Character: What Contemporary Leaders Can Teach Us about Building a More Just, Prosperous, and Sustainable Future provides an exceptional opportunity to become a better leader by applying the extraordinary yet down-to-earth insights from the authors' accessible scholarship and interviews with truly distinguished leaders whose lessons on building stronger societies through character-based leadership are moving, powerful, and evergreen.		 			Character argues that while competencies reflect what a leader can do, character determines what a leader will do. Character combines the insights from the authors' scholarship and interviews with leaders whose lessons on building stronger societies through character-based leadership are moving, powerful, and evergreen.
