Leading Greats #84

When you think about what really matters,

it’s not just skills or achievements—it’s character.

Strengths like:

Integrity

Resilience

Kindness

Courage 

are what define us.

How often do you consider your Strengths of Character?

They’re the qualities people rely on and remember long after we’ve left the room.

Integrity isn’t about perfection; it’s about making sure our words and actions align.

That consistency is what builds trust.

Courage doesn’t need to be flashy—it’s simply about standing up for what matters, even when it’s hard.

And kindness? It’s not weakness.

It’s the foundation of every meaningful relationship, creating places where people feel safe and valued.

Character strengths like humility and resilience keep us grounded and steady, especially when life throws us a curveball.

Humility is about staying open to learning from others.

Resilience is what lets us get back up, even after a tough fall.

And let’s not overlook gratitude—it reminds us of the good, even on rough days.

Character strengths define how leaders navigate setbacks, pursue goals, and build trust.

Here are 12 character strengths –

that bring out the best in us and others:

1. Integrity –

   Doing what’s right, even when it’s not easy.

   It’s what earns respect and keeps trust strong.

2. Courage –

   Facing the tough stuff and speaking up, even when it’s uncomfortable.

3. Humility –

   Recognizing we don’t have all the answers and appreciating the strengths in others.

4. Kindness –

   Showing up for people with empathy and compassion.

   It’s more powerful than we realize.

5. Resilience –

   Sticking it out through setbacks and challenges, staying steady when things get tough.

6. Gratitude –

   Valuing the people and experiences that make life richer.

7. Empathy –

   Really tuning in to what others feel, not just hearing them but understanding them.

8. Perseverance –

   Staying committed, even when the path gets rocky.

9. Optimism –

   Choosing to look at challenges as chances to grow, not reasons to give up.

10. Self-Discipline –

    Keeping ourselves in check so we can reach the goals that matter.

11. Curiosity –

    Keeping that drive to learn and explore, staying open to the new.

12. Fairness –

    Treating others with the respect they deserve, striving to be just and impartial.

Developing these strengths isn’t a one-time decision; it’s an ongoing choice to act from our best selves.

The more we lean into these qualities, the more they shape not just our lives but the lives of those around us.

They’re the quiet strengths that carry us through challenges, inspire others, and leave a lasting impact.

Ask yourself:

Which strengths are already a part of you, and which ones do you want to grow?

Cultivating character isn’t just about personal growth; it’s about creating the kind of influence that lifts everyone around us.

Two resourceful books on character are:

1. "Character Strengths and Virtues: A Handbook and Classification" by Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman

2. "The Road to Character" by David Brooks

Nearly all men can stand adversity,

but if you want to test a man’s character,

give him power.

– Abraham Lincoln
