We could sum up thre entire message of this book in the following way; leaders stand for something - vision. Leaders stand on something - values.

Solid character will reflect itself in consistent behavior, while poor character will seek to hide behind deceptive words and actions.

Remember that no matter how great a leader you become, you could lose everything that you've gained due to a lack of character.

A woman may be beautiful but have poor character. A man may be a business genius, making money left and right, but lack common courtesy, sensitivity, and compassion.

Character in leadership is the most important balance for leadership. Without character, leaders have no safety. Leadership has no protection without character.

We manifest character when self-sacrifice for the sake of our principles becomes more important than compromise for the sake of popularity.
