The 9 Virtues of Exceptional Leaders (Haden & Jacobs)

This book was a gift to me from Karl Haden. Each of us has an opportunity and perhaps a responsibility to be a leader. I will read and comment in this blog - so that I learn more effectively how to be a leader - and perhaps to inspire others to lead.

Charity - the conscious actions that apply our capabilities to address the needs of others without expecting anything in return?

Love of Self - Accurate understanding and passionate application on one's abilities because of the value that it creates for self, others and the organization?

Love of Work - Accurate understanding and passionate application on one's role when merged with the role of others because of the value that it creates for self, others and the organization?

Love for Others - Actions that are consistent with recognition that Love of Self and Love of Work applies to others - empathy?

  • Service
  • Forgiveness
  • Acceptance

Generosity - "money, time and spirit"
