Course Description

When you ask people about what makes a good leader, you usually get multiple and diverse responses. Some affirm that good leaders were born with a "unique gift" that makes them influential (e.g., Charisma); while others affirm that people can learn to be a good leader. In this webinar, Lucas Monzani will argue that research suggests that the truth is somewhere in the middle: All humans have the innate potential to become leaders, but not everyone will. Lucas will introduce the notion of "character" as collection of foundational personal resources that can enhance the exercise of leadership.


Learning outcomes:

  • What is character, and why it matters to good leadership
  • How eleven, interconnected personal resources (character dimensions) mutually inform each other
  • How the exercise of good judgment enables to tap on these eleven foundational resources so that leaders remain effective in the face of situational pressures


Take-home messages:

  • Leading with character is a habit of being; as such, it requires the daily exercise of virtue.
  • Character matters: The eleven character dimensions have been related to positive results for leaders, both personal and professional
  • Character can be trained and developed. As such, our model provides an inclusive approach to leading self, others and the organization.
