Ten leaders, ten key virtues\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis readable distillation of the core common features of successful leaders shows how an individual''s character, and especially their virtue, is the defining factor. Without these ten vital virtues, leadership becomes misleadership. The authors, both renowned business ethicists, combine theory with fascinating biographical detail on exemplary leaders such as Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, and Oprah Winfrey. The result is an accessible text on the ethics of leadership which, unlike many publications that claim to reveal the secrets of success as a leader, is informed by a wealth of exceptional academic experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“If this was, indeed, their intention, I believe they have been entirely successful.
