History's most admired leaders were people of character. Though many try to attain these leaders' greatness by developing their skills or mimicking their personal traits, it can't be done--because character is not what you do, it's who you are. The Ascent of a Leader demonstrates why character must be included in the definition of a "successful" leader. Character leverages the competencies and protects the legacy of the leader.
