[...] Character matters! | The Practice of Leadership We tend to judge ourselves by our intentions and judge others by their behaviour. This belief means that we are often blind to our behaviours, dismissing its impact on others as a mere miss understanding. After all, we understand our intentions and they are for good! However, those who observe our behaviours have no such insight. Leaders who manage their character effectively are acutely aware of this gap and actively seek to manage the impact of their behaviour on others. (tags: leadership) [...]

Great post! Executive jobs are demanding, and it can be easy to postpone discussions on how an executive's character and behavior impacts the organization as a whole. There is a lively discussion over at Fistful of Talent now as to whether HR should be the "ethics police," as some would suggest. But most agree that isn't practical and character/ethical behavior must be infused throughout the entire organization, starting at the top.

Effective leadership requires that we need become aware of how our behaviours are impacting the people around us. We need to understand how our behaviour is being interpreted….
