[adapted from the editor]

This book is the result of years of reflection, meetings, and seminars, and its main idea – that a true leader is a man of virtues – constituted an effective response to the errors of a world accustomed to thinking that there is no room for good in companies, in Politics and, in general, in life. Considering the global crisis that seems to undo years of economic conquests, the author points out that there is a deeper problem behind all that: a moral crisis.

And how do you fight a moral crisis? With virtues.
Based on the life of some of the two greatest political, intellectual, and religious leaders of modern times – and on the author's personal experience – this book shows that leadership and virtue are not only compatible but also help each other.

Virtues & Leadership defines each of the most essential classic human virtues in the exercise of authentic leadership: magnanimity, humility, prudence, courage, self-control, and justice. In addition, it also addresses the virtues of faith, hope, and charity. Without these, a leader loses references, and, aove all, the desire to grow more and more humanly and professionally.
