#6 Character Drives Purpose  Mahesh Joshi and JR Klein are Co-Authors of the Global Business Book Series including Global Business (2018), Global Business in the Age of Transportation (2021) and several more books in the works.  Three primary baseline characteristics are the foundation blocks of an effective leader. The first characteristic is creativity and inclusivity. Effective leaders continually are looking at ways of getting things done. They are constantly inquisitive. They are by nature flexible and are always looking to learn things, unlearn things, and to relearn things. There is a basic flexibility in their character that allows them to move forward in any framework. They tend to think more about "What if?" rather than the "No way”, the “How to?" rather than "Better not”. They understand that none of us is better than any of us and none of us is as smart as all of us. They understand the value of thinking together and tend to build inclusive cultures. They set clear and realistic expectations and encourage independent thinking. They importantly allow people to fail and use failure as a learning tool.   You can order Global Business in the Age of Transformation from Amazon at: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B09DQCQ36T&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_Y73D1FCF7SRHPJRAMK2R&tag=everythingaround-20OR wherever books are sold.  If you want to reach out to either JR Klein or Mahesh Joshi feel free to visit jrglobal.co for contact details or via YouTube or Facebook.
