Do Great Leaders Need to be Virtuous? It Depends on how you Define Great

Do Great Leaders Need to be Virtuous? It Depends on how you Define Great

In this episode I’m talking with Ken Pasch. Ken is an author, an entrepreneur and a retired Air Force Colonel. He is the founder and President of KiVisions Inc., a leadership development company whose mission is to make good people great leaders. We talk about groups versus individuals as it relates to building a successful organization. We laud the unsung benefits of devil’s advocates. We discuss the difference between “good” and “effective” leaders and determine that one’s moral compass isn’t always related to their success as a leader. We lament the unfortunate propensity for people to conflate charisma with leadership. We talk at length about the ways in which inspired leadership can lead us toward an ever-greater global prosperity. And we theorize that, along with integrity, knowledge, enthusiasm and energy, a true leader absolutely must have one other trait in order to be be great…compassion!
