Increasingly, leaders are glancing back over their shoulders to see if anyone is following. A very costly move with so much changing right in front of them. For too many, this "disengagement" as Gallup puts it, stems from a lack of trust in the leader's character. Regardless of other qualities, no thinking person is going to follow a so-called leader into uncertainty without absolute trust in their integrity, moral clarity and courage. Do they have an unwavering moral compass? What's their "fudge factor?" Do they have my best interests at heart? What are they hiding? How do they behave when things get tough?

This book will enable you to answer these questions in such a compelling way that trust and respect for you, along with organizational engagement and performance, continues to increase over the course of your lifetime. And the path to that lofty destination rests on your ability to align and integrate your moral, rational and emotional dimensions to capture your full potential to influence others, produce emotional intelligence and resilience, make better management decisions, create a compelling vision and strategy, build and sustain a healthy culture, and enjoy lasting inner peace and fulfillment.

Absent that healthy integration, we experience inner conflict, stress and cognitive dysfunction spilling over into all our relationships and leadership efforts.

The Power of Moral Leadership defines precisely what moral leadership is, why it is critical to our happiness and success, how others are impacted by it, and precisely how to summit the peaks of moral clarity and courage to dramatically increase your leadership effectiveness.

"Put simply, I would strongly recommend The Power of Moral Leadership to all leaders who want to improve. Indeed, in a world where trust in leaders and organisations is perceived to be in crisis, where leaders perceive that their challenges are growing in number and complexity, it is an absolute must read." - David Ross, Founder and Managing Director, Phoenix Strategic Management and author of Confronting The Storm.
