You say you want to hire people with good character – but what does “character” mean?
In this episode, Dr. Mary Crossan of Ivey University defines exactly what leader character is, why it matters, and how to develop it. She’s found leader character is not just an add-on, but a foundational element that propels organizations towards sustained excellence. And it’s a win-win: the cultivation of leader character significantly enhances both individual well-being and prompts a culture of integrity and effectiveness within organizations.
Dr. Mary Crossan is the author of Developing Leadership Character.
