How a leader deals with the circumstances of life tell you many things about his character, crisis doesn't necessarily make character, but it certainly does reveal it, Adversity is a crossroad that make a person chose one of the paths:character or compromise. Every time he chooses character, he become stronger even if that choice brings negative consequences.
(a) Character is more than talk, Anyone can say that he has Integrity, but action is the indicator of character, your character determines who you are, who you are determines what you do, that's why you can never separate a leader's character from his action.
(b) Talent is a gift, but character is a choice, we have no control over a lot of things in life, we don't go to choose our parents nor select the location or circumstances of our birth and upbringing, we don't get to pick our talents or IQ, but we do choice our character, infant we create it every time we make choices to cop out or dig out of a hard situation, to bend the truth or stand under the weight of it, to take the easy money or pay the price.
As you live your life and make choices today, you are continuing to create your character.
(c) Character brings lasting success with people, true leadership always involves other people (As the leadership proverbs says, If you think you are leading and nobody is following you, then you are only taking a walk),
(nwasam).
