Virtuous leaders, virtue-grounded teams, and virtue-led organizations inspire performance. The Virtue Proposition explains how. Sig Berg, founder of the Severn Leadership Group, explains what’s missing from traditional leadership, with its emphasis on the rules and rituals of boardrooms and c-suites, and from iconoclastic leadership, which urges you to move fast and break things.
