“Character is a diamond that scratches every other stone.” Cyrus Augustus Bartol
GEN Norman Swharzkopf stated that the military leaders of the 21st century required character and competence, but if he had to choose between them, he would choose character. Character is who you are at your very core. Character – the values and beliefs you hold in your heart – defines the person you are even when you’re alone. Solid and demonstrated character is a pre-requisite for leaders, and defines the greatest of leaders. Stop and look in the mirror. What do you think, are leaders of character “born” or “made”?
