Leading with Character

10 Minutes a Day to a Brilliant Legacy

De: Jim Loehr

Narrado por: Daniel Henning

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.

Listen to 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.

Insighting Hope!

One story at a time, Jim leads his audience towards their best life as leaders in business, family and community. Three cheers for this practical guide for anyone interested in realizing their potential.

Really

You know it. But it is a great reminder. Not worth a credit but if included def listen. Makes you pause on how you want to be remembered.

Disappointing after high hopes from a podcast

I really enjoyed the interview on the Tim Ferris Show with this author. This prompted me to buy the book but the book is not at all what I thought it would be. I hate returning books, but I have to return this one.

Don't buy this book

Like the other reviewers here, I heard the author on Tim Ferris, enjoyed him, and wanted to dive deeper. My expectation was to learn and get a template for the process of discovering and refining a personal credo. Instead this was a very basic discussion of the importance of ethics and guiding principle and little on the topic I hoped for. I returned the book to Audible.

Surprisingly mediocre.

I heard Mr. Loehr speak on interviews and so was inspired to read this book.
I was disappointed that it seemed to be a basic course in the fundamentals of ethical behavior. While comprehensive it was hardly groundbreaking in the least .
The narration was particularly uninspired, with a perfunctory reading lacking in any emotional range.
