Engineering Character: Six Dials to Build a Better Brand of Leadership [9781637635902]

Overview

Character was once forged by necessity. Today, it must be engineered by choice. Competent managers and skilled politicians are everywhere; true leaders are increasingly scarce. Engineering Character delivers a six-dial system designed and developed through decades of global leadership, personal crisis, and hard-won lessons in what authentic leadership demands. Three dials to lead yourself. Three to lead others. This is the framework for building a better brand of leadership.

Leadership is not about charisma, luck, or circumstances beyond your control.

It is about Character. And Character is not inherited… it is engineered.

For close to three decades, John Lentini has led in the world's most demanding environments: surviving 9/11 at the World Trade Center, managing crisis during the Fukushima nuclear disaster, building teams across six continents, and navigating the toxic politics of corporate leadership. Through these experiences, he discovered that effective and ethical leaders must operate a simple control panel with six dials:

• Three dials to lead yourself: Discipline, Mindset, and Resilience.
• Three dials to lead others: Integrity, Empathy, and Influence.

Engineering Character breaks down how to calibrate each dial, how they interact as a system, and most importantly -- why the template you create becomes the template future leaders will follow. Illustrated through historical icons from Hannibal to Mandela, this is not aspirational theory. It is a diagnostic system for building leaders who last.

The question is not whether Character can be engineered. It is whether you will engineer it intentionally or leave it to chance.
