Publisher's summary

Increasingly, leaders are glancing back over their shoulders to see if anyone is following. A very costly move with so much changing right in front of them. For too many, this “disengagement” as Gallup puts it, stems from a lack of trust in the leader’s character. Regardless of other qualities, no thinking person is going to follow a so-called leader into uncertainty without absolute trust in their integrity, moral clarity, and courage. Do they have an unwavering moral compass? What’s their “fudge factor?” Do they have my best interests at heart? What are they hiding? How do they behave when things get tough?

This book will enable you to answer these questions in such a compelling way that trust and respect for you, along with organizational engagement and performance, continues to increase over the course of your lifetime. And the path to that lofty destination rests on your ability to align and integrate your moral, rational, and emotional dimensions to capture your full potential to influence others, produce emotional intelligence and resilience, make better management decisions, create a compelling vision and strategy, build and sustain a healthy culture, and enjoy lasting inner peace and fulfillment.

Absent that healthy integration, we experience inner conflict, stress, and cognitive dysfunction spilling over into all our relationships and leadership efforts.

The Power of Moral Leadership defines precisely what moral leadership is, why it is critical to our happiness and success, how others are impacted by it, and precisely how to summit the peaks of moral clarity and courage to dramatically increase your leadership effectiveness.

Good Solid Lessons within Leadership

As a disclaimer, I will point out that I am a huge supporter and fan of many of the points made in this book, yet I still feel that I can give an impartial and unbiased review.

The author made several fantastic points about how we can be self governing moral leaders, he mentioned that humility is the starting point for building realistic self esteem as a leader, I agreed with this and the foundation built around this point.

Remaining humble despite success as a leader is critical to ensuring you re equipped to lead others. I did not know that Martin Luther King Jr did not endorse any political party or candidate - his reasoning is something to be admired even more today... if you are curious about why - listen to the book.

The author's stance on person first leadership versus people first leadership was alarming at first but his point was made that there are some very strong outcomes to be gained through this approach.

The author made so many great points, really reminders about the great leaders of our nation, for example - Lincoln believed wholly in freedom of speech - even if people where criticizing him. A lesson our current leaders could be reminded of.

One of the lines from the book - I - LOVE.... Serving other is greater leadership.

The author teaches that avoiding addressing emotions causes problems later, I write about this often.

Some REALLY simple quotes from the book that speak so loudly to the author's credibility:

It's easier to hold to your principles 100% of the time than it is 98% of the time.

and

To avoid feeling like an imposter or having imposter syndrome - don't be an imposter - be authentic.

Overall the book is great, I really do recommend it.

The only criticism I have of this book, the narrator is not my favorite. If I was not aware that the author was a solid leader with outstanding ideas, I would have shut the book off twenty minutes in, instead - I recommend listening to the book at 1.2 speed - it makes the narrator easier to listen to.

I am glad I made it through the book, it was worth the listen - the content is great.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
