Описание книги

From leadership expert Dr. Jim Loehr, strengthen your moral and ethical character for outstanding leadership results with this must-have set. Leading with Character: 10 Minutes a Day to a Brilliant Legacy At the end of your life, how are you likely to be remembered? Chances are that people won’t be praising your money, power, and status. Instead, the people you’ve impacted will remember you for your compassion and personal strength—in short, your character. Unfortunately, many leaders are unaware of their character shortcomings and blind spots that hold so many of us back from building the lasting legacy we are capable of. With the right motivation, you can begin to strengthen your character and become a moral and ethical leader capable of creating lasting change. In Leading with Character: 10 Minutes a Day to a Brilliant Legacy , Dr. Jim Loehr, cofounder of the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute, reveals 50 character competencies that you can practice daily to transform your life and work. This book will also guide you through the process of developing a Personal Credo that will serve as your decision-making mission statement. Most leaders never take the time to identify their own core values, instead defaulting to a reflexive form of decision making. Gain an awareness of the conscious and unconscious processes that guide what you do and why you do it, and take charge of your leadership legacy. Even good leaders are vulnerable to corruption. Read Leading with Character to learn how human evolution and contemporary culture can lead us astray without our even knowing it. As we work hard to get to the top, who are we becoming along the way? If we want to become heroes whose memories will long outlast us, we need to channel our energy into creating habits that will add up to a strong and meaningful character. The Personal Credo Journal: A Companion to Leading with Character We all want to become high impact leaders with a robust ethical and moral character, but getting there is a challenge. Dr. Jim Loehr’s Leading with Character offers a succinct plan for developing your character as a leader and building a meaningful legacy through your life’s work. The Personal Credo Journal is a day-by-day workbook that will guide you through the process of identifying your core values and crafting your Personal Credo—a statement of beliefs and values that will help you align every action and decision with your deepest held ideals. With these activities and exercises, you’ll spend just a few minutes each day reflecting on meaningful and thought-provoking prompts about your life story, your personal strengths and weaknesses, and your life goals. By the end of this life-altering, 150-day challenge, you will have gained a deep self-knowledge and a clear vision of your path forward as a leader. Take charge of the legacy you’ll leave behind, build character, and learn to use your Personal Credo to transform your life.

Отрывок из книги

“As leaders, we choose how we show up. No matter what level you are, never forget that others are watching. We model behaviors for people around us, setting expectations for how we expect to be treated and what we expect of others. This defines the character others see in you and takes courage. Always be authentic, and if you are your best in the ordinary moments of life, you will be great in the extraordinary ones.”

—Cathy Engelbert, Commissioner, WNBA, retired Deloitte CEO

.....

I will end where I started. The COVID pandemic has wiped out much of the financial progress we've made as a company. As proud as I am of the turnaround, I now know that my legacy as a CEO will be around HOW we navigate the pandemic and residual crises around it. Our 3100 retail stores around the world and most of our wholesale customers’ stores have been closed for over two months. Our revenues, like many retailers, have taken a hit, and I suspect the recovery, and our return to $6 billion in sales, will take time. We are navigating the most uncertain time I've ever faced in my career. People have been working from home for nearly three months now. Uncertainty and volatility are our daily challenges.

But through it all, I continue to be guided to make the hard decisions in the grey area by following our values and committing to “do the harder right over the easier wrong” at every step. It's not easy, balancing all of the critical stakeholders in the business: shareholders (including family members – descendants of Levi Strauss), employees, retirees, partners, suppliers, and customers. It is a fragile ecosystem with massive uncertainty, and weighing it all requires a strong moral compass and a conviction, above all else, to do what is right.
