The Character Edge: Leading and Winning with Integrity by Robert L. Caslen and Michael D. MatthewsGeneral Robert L. Caslen, Jr. and psychologist Dr. Michael D. Matthews are experts on the psychology of character and its correlation with successful leadership, and how to build it in individuals and prospective leaders. In this book, they use examples of great leaders from Abe Lincoln to Rosa Parks, Mahatma Gandhi to Susan B. Anthony, Martin Luther King, Jr. to Nelson Mandela, to show that skill mastery isn’t the secret to highly effective leaders. It is that all their skill, grit, resilience, charisma, and courage emanated from one thing: their strength of character.
