thomas: This is one of the few books with not only examples but exercises. It was a gut check doing the online test but helped provide direction for growth!

Don’t miss out!

mate: Ähnlich wie die im Buch beschworene Demut ist das Werk selber ein leises Werk….gering an Seiten ,hochkonzentrierter Inhalt…ein Spiegel in den zu sehen man Mut braucht…hervorragend…dickes Fanke an die Autoren

Xavier: "What would you tell your younger self": read this book again and again and again until you understand its messages. Rest assured that if all you do is reread this book for a whole year and attempt to incorporate its messages, it will be a year very well spent.

Mon cher colonel: This book is not a complicated or academic tome. It doesn't try to be too clever or put you down.

What it does do is set out a clear (and in my view accurate) representation of what true leadership is, and as importantly, what it's not. Some of this (in fact most of it) is fairly obvious, but with the proliferation of so many leadership books around, it has all become a bit lost in too much theory and research.

This book really helped to 'bring me back' to the what really matters. A lot of this is about one's ethics, behaviour and personal discipline, which we can only really address ourselves, and which is why several other leadership books don't go there.

There are a couple of minor negatives:
- it's quite repetitive and not the most fluently written book. But it is sincere.
- there are a small number of references where the authors' strong religious leanings come through loud and clear. Personally I didn't mind this, but I imagine that it could turn some people off. The book and its messages would be just as strong without them.

Matthew T. Holtz: Very well written and thought out. Lots of practical advice given. Some of it is common sense, but it is good to have it put down in front of you in black and white to remind you of what you need to do in order to become what you want to be.

Michael J. Kerrigan: In about 180 pages General Jim Anderson and his West Point graduate son have crafted a practical leadership manual based the Aristotelean model but supported in clear drills on how to build one's own character(see pages 28&29.) Just like Aristotle’s model, the Andersons book is designed with the idea the more we speak about making wise choices, the more likely we are to act in that way.In brief our habits form our character. The forward to Becoming a Leader of Character, written by no less than Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski (the number one in all time coaching victories in NCAA Men's basketball) shares the Anderson treatise and foretells the "practice drills that form our Habits of Character."and those that the Andersons' lay out; namely; "Our character is in our own control. We build it, sustain it or destroy it based on our choices. The choices we make daily prepare us for the bigger choices that will come when challenges arise." I believe readers will agree with Coach K, we should listen to these guys. The Anderson's have laid out ways to develop our character and have identified the habits (Integrity, Selflessness, Duty and Positivity) we need to...

C. L. Heaton, M.D.: In an age when "Winning is not everything, it is the only thing," victory without virtue leaves the souls of the victors hollow and is destructive to the civility of its community. This extremely powerful and astonishingly compact manual highlights the importance of character development in leadership and hinges on two ageless concepts:
-The theoretical principle that failure of leadership is first and foremost "a failure of character."
-The practical principle that you need to "do what you want to become."
Many of the ubiquitous resources for leadership development focus on equipping driven executives with the tools and techniques to accomplish the vision and goals of their organizations. While necessary, this is frequently insufficient to bring about lasting positive change and accomplishment in the life of the organization, team members and perhaps most importantly and unappreciated, the life and character of the leader. The "unexamined" life of the leader may lead to goals and methods that while successful in the short run may be revealed as harmful or destructive to all with the passing of time.
The theoretical premise that failure of leadership...
