This episode looks at character - the second fundamental requirement for effective leadership. Is character important in leadership? If it is, in what ways is it important? This episode answers these questions as it  shows why character is essential for leadership. 

Fusi explains what character is, how it is seen through our conduct and attitudes and how character directs our ability through the choices we make.  Listeners will understand the role of character in leadership as they learn that our ability may give us the proficiency at something, but it is our character that determines our motives and in turn how we use our ability. 

Our character in effect, determines our outcomes in situations and in life generally. We also see how character sustains personal success, because talent that rests on a foundation of wrong values and unethical choices does not end well. 

In the Leadership in Action section, Fusi throws a challenge as he asks if our circumstances should determine our choices. The episode ends with wise counsel that in a world of shifting values, character is never out of fashion. 

This episode should set us thinking about the investment we should be ready to make in our character for us to be more effective leaders who enjoy enduring success wherever we are.
