Those that travel the high road, give more than they take. Low road leaders take more than they give. Middle road leaders give equal to what they receive.

Does Your Reputation Outweigh Your Character? | MWM
Character Over Reputation = Character is about who you really are—not who you show people you are. Character is who you are when no one is watching. Embrace the value of character over reputation. Image is too important in today’s culture. Character determines how you interact with people and what you are capable of accomplishing. The goal is for character to exceed your reputation. If you are bigger on the inside than on the outside, you will be a successful leader.
Essential to your Leadership= If you are a leader or looking to follow someone who is, the core of your leadership should be character. Remember, be better on the inside than you are on the outside - start within your core. Although some have good character, it doesn't necessarily make you a great leader. Start within yourself, first!
When you think about the person you look up to or want to follow in life, important characteristics come to mind like honesty, trustworthy, courage, integrity and so much more. When we put our trust in someone and feel secure with them, it is likely because we respect their character. If you want to be a good leader, it is important to have good character. Anyone can acquire good characteristics, you just need to be determined to do so.
What’s on the inside is what ultimately shows up on the outside. Character not only makes you a good person, but it can also make-or-break a leader’s reputation. Not everyone with the right “inside stuff” will become a reputable leader. But every reputable leader has to first have upstanding character.
In this episode, we explore the four dimensions of character in leadership, the significance of being vulnerable and transparent in order to establish trust with team members, as well as the challenges of self-management and the need for leaders to prioritize effectively. You’ll learn the concept of teachability and the role it plays in demonstrating humility along with the value of courage in standing up for what is right and making tough decisions.
