The Character of Leadership: The Roadmap and Compass That Guides You Through the Landmines of Management (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781450212649)

Why do some managers succeed and why do others fail? Mediocre performance in management is born from a failure to understand that real leadership requires action and exceptional accomplishment in meeting goals and working well with others. Plain and simple-effective leadership is the key to building great companies.

David Reeves, a successful business leader who developed profitable agencies for a major life insurance company for more than twenty-seven years, shares principles that will help others identify the difference between management and leadership, learn how to effectively lead a group, and motivate others to accomplish goals. Through sharing his own personal experiences and the stories of successful leaders, Reeves teaches managers and future leaders how to:

• Develop personal integrity that is strong enough to make and keep commitments
• Find the courage to change the things that must be changed
• Listen and communicate effectively
• Recruit and hire only the best individuals
• Build a culture focused on excellence

The Character of Leadership guides managers through an in-depth thinking process that will help them become the kind of leaders who inspire others to achieve greatness.
