Don,
What a great story about Allan!  Most of us have been blessed to cross paths with someone like that, but exhibitions of that level of leadership are rare... but the next part of the chapter is, well, depressing!  But THANK YOU for not stopping there!  I love the challenge-

"When we believe that leading from good character is critical, we will apply that to ourselves and to those closest to us."

I can't change the whole world... at once.  But I can change the world by being a character based leader, and leading my own family, friends and staff to be that kind of leader!  Thanks for the encouragement!

I've found that one of the best things I can do to develop this in my kids and my staff, is that during the decision making process of an incredibly difficult situation, that I explain along the way how my values are impacting my decision making process and my choices.

What specific suggestions would you give a leader of a team in regards to developing that kind of leadership in the lives of his team members?
