When leaders develop leadership character alongside developing leadership competence, it enhances their overall leadership capacity. ... Character reflects the consistency of who you are when everyone is looking and when no one is looking. ... Competence addresses the effectiveness and efficiency in using the skills required for your job. ... Capacity speaks to your ability and readiness to lead at higher levels of organizational complexity. Leadership Core is written for the leader, who is committed to enhance, increase, and expand their capacity as a leader. The scope and purpose of this book is to provide a framework of understanding that demystifies the ways in which organizations deepen their leadership resources going forward.
Leadership development is contextual, and organizational culture is the context in which leaders develop. The healthier the organization, the more effective the leader. The healthier the leader, the more effective the organization. Dr. Dick Daniels
