How Important Is Character In Leadership?
There was a recent study that suggested that power increases “moral hypocrisy.” That giving a person power makes that person feel entitled and causes a disconnect in their judgment. It also says that those in high-power positions tend to judge morality of others while not practicing what they preach.
As if everyone NOT in power practices what they preach.
Though I don’t agree completely with the study I will say this: character is a necessity in leadership.
