Leadership Alignment
We live in an age that has seen corporate scandals consistently make headlines, with CEO’s of major corporations indicted and imprisoned. Yet, this is merely symptomatic of the character crisis that has spread across our nation. This declining character level has negatively impacted the productivity of many companies. Too often, organizations find behavior – from executives to the front-line – that is not in alignment. This leads to distrust among working relationships, a level of disengagement, problems with absenteeism or turnover, cynicism and lack of commitment to the corporate mission, and real losses in productivity.
“The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between parties either – but right through the human heart.”
-Alexandr Solzhenitzyn
“Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wing, and only character endures.”
–Horace Greeley
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
-Aristotle
“It is with the heart that one sees rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery
