Key Takeaways:
- We are all leaders
- Character plus competence = consistency
- The foundation of all leadership is character; that’s why it’s an “inside job”
- Character is something you have to intentionally build
- What do you want people to say, truthfully, at your funeral? Live into your obituary.
