"My second question, "What are the character values most essential to exemplary leaders?" produced an entirely different response. The answers fell into a consistent and predictable pattern. Whether the poll was taken with Chilean telecommunications executives, the senior leadership of the Marine Corps, thirty-something technology entrepreneurs, European financiers, directors of nonprofits, U.S. Senators, CEOs of Fortune 100 companies, or Canadian utilities executives, the same virtues unfailingly appeared. Honesty, accountability, integrity, vision, commitment, empathy, courage, trustworthiness, and self-control showed up again and again as the hallmarks of a leader."

Richard Strozzi-Heckler in "The Leadership Dojo", p.4

“Despite Pat's reasoning, the client kept resisting, so Pat decided to leverage his greatest talents. Drawing on his Belief talents, Pat said to his client, "I really want you to do what is right for you" -- and he meant it; doing right by his clients is an essential part of Pat's sense of mission. Using his Individualization talents, Pat was motivated to probe what was troubling this particular client in this specific situation.

"I sense there is more to this than price," Pat said. "Please tell me what else is holding you back from making the change, because in the long run, I think it's in your best interest to switch to the new product."

The client finally admitted that it was a packaging issue. (…). Pat asked the client why he hadn't told him this before. The client, recalling the way Pat used to "lay on the charm," replied, "I didn't think you really cared before."”
