The affect of character in leadership.

People are more willing to follow others that they can trust. We can only decide to trust someone when we see there character, and if it reflects are personal beliefs of what character or morals should be. That said it takes consistency to build character. Stand up for what you believe in and don't waver.

"A lapse in character= a loss in leadership." -Hansley Thomas-

Example:

I was at a seminar in which one of speakers did a great job with his session and I had a lot to gain from his teaching. After the seminar we had a networking time in which the speakers were there. As I approached this speaker to thank him for his insight he kind of blew me off and then I witnessed him do this to several other attendees. And though his ideas were good, I have a hard time wanting to practice the things he taught.

I am curious if there are other stories you may have similar to this? I can think of some more, and will maybe share them at another time.
