Thank God its Monday,

Have you ever considered how important character is to success? Not just your character, but also the character of each member of your team? In a recent survey of a 1000 people, an overwhelming majority 72% believes that personal character is the most important attribute of a leader. The character and integrity of an organization matters most when potential clients choose who they would prefer to do business with.

I believe when we are building our team, too often we spend more time considering talent than character. Think about it, talent without character is like having a sexy sports car without gas. Consider talented athletes, performers or politicians who have serious character flaws. They almost always wind up destroying themselves and their careers. The list is almost endless.

This why I suggest that you consider the character of the people you associate yourself with and the people you allow on your team.

A team built on strong character allows talent to reach its full potential. It will bring out the best in an organization and its people when adversity strikes. It always has.

The most successful individuals and teams surround themselves with high character people. Our character is our moral compass, it defines us.  A strong character leads to good decisions because we don’t have to think long about what is right.

Our character defines us so never stop striving to become a better version of yourself. If you are building a team, hire people of high character first, strong energy second, and who are talented third.

Live inspired, be abundant and fulfill your destiny,
