Key Highlights
- The Credibility Equation: Leadership effectiveness comes from both competence (skills and abilities) and character (values and behaviors)
- While competence is often presumed at senior levels, character must be deliberately demonstrated
- Success provides unique opportunities to showcase character through: - How victories are framed and celebrated - What gets measured and prioritized - The questions leaders choose to ask - How credit is shared
- Leadership character differs from personal character and includes elements like: - Degree of collaboration and inclusivity - Approach to accountability - Source and motivation of drive - Level of humility and openness to learning
Notable Quotes
- "Character is not just revealed in times of adversity - those times of success are also great opportunities for leaders and teams to really underscore and reveal character."
- "Watch the pronouns - there's a big difference between singular credit and group credit."
- "You can be a leader of high integrity as an individual, but that doesn't necessarily show up in terms of how you display that character as a leader."
