Publisher's Summary
In this short, easy-to-listen fable, best-selling author Mark Miller reveals five habits that underlie leadership character and that determine a leader's success - and he teaches leaders how to develop these habits.
Like Miller's previous books, this one follows the life, learning, and influence of Debbie Bruster. Here she finds herself mentoring Blake Brown, the son of her former mentor. Rather than answer Blake's questions about leadership directly, Debbie introduces him to other leaders, each of whom shares a unique perspective on what really makes a leader successful. As Blake puts the pieces together, he discovers his problem is not one of skills but of character - that leadership is more about the heart of the leader than the head or hands. In fact, Miller summarized these traits with the acronym HEART: Hunger for Wisdom, Expect the Best, Accept Responsibility, Respond with Courage, and Think Others First.
With the help of his new friends and mentors, Blake is able to build a plan to transform his heart. The good news is that leadership is not just the purview of the few - it is within reach for millions of aspiring leaders around the world.
This book is the road map they need to get their lives and careers on track.

Useful! Valuable! Thank you!
I will do my best to live this wisdom, and develop my own leadership character. Thank you for the opportunity to learn and grow in such a great way. I will be sure to pass this on to my god daughter and her sister and brother too. 😄

Incredibly clear and concise
This is an incredibly clear and concise book on leadership- both shorter and clearer in its message than other books I've read on the topic.
If you've been passed over for a promotion again, or you're wondering why you're not getting a leadership title, this is a good book for digging into the why and learning what makes leaders different from everybody else. It also differentiates between leadership skills and leadership character. Guess what: If you don't have leadership character, nobody cares about your skills.
A very brief self-assessment tool at the end of the book helps for creating a game plan to improve leadership character.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who's willing to get to the bottom of what needs to change in their mind and life in order to learn to lead well.

Excellent Leadership book!!!!
I loved the whole book. I listen in my vehicle and found there was so much value from this book that I have listened to it again at my desk and taken notes throughout. The teaching on leadership character traits was fantastic and the world could use many more leaders that follow this teaching. Well worth listening to for anyone already in leadership, wanting to be in leadership or just wanting to be a better person. The book was told as a story and so easy to follow and not get bored. Can’t say enough good things about it. GET IT!!!

Concise, useful content.
Many of the points made in the book focus on the simple idea that, essentially, what makes a good leader is their intention. FOR others for their own sake or FOR yourself and your own admiration and glory? The only thing that might annoy some readers is the dialogue. It does come across incredibly uncomfortable, like something you'd read in a Sunday school cartoon textbook. No bother to me! Good stuff!

There was so much to learn from this book! I learned that becoming a leader is not easy, it takes continual work, and this book clearly states the work required to achieve it. It was a short read but I truest enjoyed it :)
