Overview

Drawing on the lives of some of the greatest political, intellectual and religious leaders of modern times, and the author’s personal experience, <i>Virtuous Leadership</i> demonstrates that leadership and virtue are not only compatible, they are actually synonymous.

<i>Virtuous Leadership</i> defines each of the classical human virtues most essential to leadership – magnanimity, humility, prudence, courage, self-control and justice. It demonstrates how these virtues promote personal transformation and the attainment of self-fulfillment. It also considers the Christian supernatural virtues of faith, hope and charity without which no study of leadership can be complete. The book’s final section, Towards Victory, offers a methodology for the achievement of interior growth tailored to the needs of busy, professional people intent on imbuing their lives with a transcendent purpose. Thus, the aim of <i>Virtuous Leadership</i> is ultimately practical. It is meant to be your guidebook in the quest for moral excellence.
