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.

14. The Virtuous Leader

Leaders are made, not born - we are all leaders - consciously or unconsciously - all the time - of our own lives and to those whose lives we influence

Leaders are lifelong learners - and learning will happen - even when unintended - it is often involuntary - experiences happen to us - we need to also choose which experiences to create - and what we choose to learn from any experience - a mirror is often helpful

All for one and one for all - the 9 x 9 matrix will help me

Virtue is a habit - and it does have a healthy appetite

Virtue is contagious - especially when we intentionally "re-infect" ourselves!
