Understanding temperament and character is essential for practicing Virtuous Leadership. This approach emphasizes the diversity of human personality, suggesting that while temperament influences our efforts, it does not dictate our goals or outcomes. By mastering the habits of excellence, or virtues, individuals can integrate these qualities into their identities, leading to self-mastery and true freedom. The journey from recognizing one's temperament to developing character is a transformative process that enables people to flourish and achieve their highest potential.

Drawing on the lives of some of the greatest political, intellectual and religious leaders of modern times, and the author's personal experience, Virtuous Leadership demonstrates that leadership and virtue are not only compatible, they are actually synonymous.Virtuous Leadership defines each of the classical human virtues most essential to leadership - magnanimity, humility, prudence, courage, self-control and justice. It demonstrates how these virtues promote personal transformation and the attainment of self-fulfillment. It also considers the Christian supernatural virtues of faith, hope and charity without which no study of leadership can be complete.
