    About this ebook

    Character is the knowledge, which opens a treasure chest to the kingdom of life and love and life afterward. Our insights and writing is likened to Napoleon Hill's great book Think And Grow Rich. Our secret key to human character is that it is not psychological, per se. It is a blend of morals and ethics. Therefore think of it simply as thinking and doing good, right, helpful and better. Values shape character. Character isn't everything yet it affects everything in almost every phase of life. It is mentioned after selecting the wrong people for important positions, assuming high character without the evidence in prior history. We see it in sports, government, management and leadership, education and teaching, families and in our opinions about all of it.

    Human Love precedes character building. Character flaws are correctable. Honor can and does exist in civilian, day to day life although we hear of honor more in military activities then civilian life. There is an American Character. It has a lot to do with executing on The Common Good. The ways to develop High Character Practices (Winner Ways) versus the ways to overcome Low Character Practices (Loser Ways) are provided.

    Excellent Managers and Leaders, and Decent-Human-Beings, practice Character--Coaching to achieve high character practices to achieve the common good of an enterprise that includes profit for all stakeholders along with sustainability and growth.

      Character in Everything - Forever

      Introduction

      Important to know is the common, practical and simple stuff uncovered and decoded here. It is based on scholarly research combined with the ability to provide blazing insights into the obvious.

      Character is the knowledge, which opens a treasure chest to the kingdom of life and love and life afterward. Our insights and writing is likened to Napoleon Hill's great book Think And Grow Rich. Our secret key to human character is that it is not psychological, per se. It is a blend of morals and ethics. Therefore think of it simply as thinking and doing good, right, helpful and better. Values shape character. Character may not seem to be everything, yet it affects everything in almost every phase of life. It is mentioned after selecting the wrong people for important positions, assuming high character without the evidence in prior history. We see it in sports, government, management and leadership, education and teaching, families and in our opinions about all of it.

      Human Love precedes character building. Character flaws are correctable. Honor can and does exist in civilian, day to day life although we hear of honor more in military activities then civilian life. There is an American Character. It has a lot to do with executing on The Common Good. The ways to develop High Character Practices (Winner Ways) versus the ways to overcome Low Character Practices (Loser Ways) are provided.

      Excellent managers and leaders practice Character–Coaching to achieve high character practices to achieve the common good of an enterprise that includes profit for all stakeholders along with sustainability and growth.

      Beware those character practices that mash up against your crucial Values and later surprise you because you ignored them. A Legacy of Character, hopefully of High Character, can be left to your successors and heirs. Ways to improve your own character are explained. You are also shown how to revive the true Character of Capitalism USA by building product and service driven enterprises to create jobs, profit and sustainable progress, in both good and in tough economic times.

      The Rudiments of Character

      After years of study we find our concept of character is in great agreement with that of the brilliant philosopher-king and Emperor of the Roman Empire, Marcus Aurelius, in his book, To Himself. I have since further evolved the notion of character with practical and specific dimensions.

      Character is a Blend of Morals and Ethics

      Thinking and doing good, right, helpful and better are character. To grasp character properly, think of how some good people can do wrong things and bad things, hurtful things and worse things. Isn’t it also true that some, who are bad people, can do good things right things, helpful things and better things? Further, these parts of character occur on a low–to–high scale, meaning that when behavior is consistent on the low scale it becomes fairly evident to most people that you are seeing Low Character in action. Similarly, when a man or woman’s behavior is on the high side, one could call that High Character. Whether we all agree or not on high character or low character depends upon our values. Values are what are important to each of us.

      Values

      Each of us has a unique constellation of needs and wants, abilities and habits that energize us. All of these constitute those things that are important to us. Then add beliefs and opinions. Some are vitally important to some people and some are less so.

      I have found that the most important aspects in life are how we manage ourselves and how we lead when considering our values. I believe deep down that character-based management, love and decent-human-beings as leaders, have provided the big solutions in the past. They must be the answers to the majority of our big problems today and in the future.

      I have worked at and produced extraordinary results and sometimes failures by writing, communicating, teaching and training my ideas wherever and whenever they were sought. These ideas are not political and not religious, unless one can call my zeal for these ideas religious. Needless to say, there are many people in this world who hold the values that they believe in so strongly are good for everyone else that they pursue imposing those values no matter how violent or how destructive to the whole that imposition may be.

      The American Character

      I believe that there is an American Character. It can be seen in a strong belief of freedom, good, right, helpful, and better for all. We feel it strongly and are willing to fight for and defend our way of life anywhere. This includes allowing others to live according to their own Values.

      As for individuals, our lives are our own personal responsibility and the consequences of our behavior whether good or bad are subject to accountability as determined by others. So let us pursue others only when they violate our rights. Until then, live and allow others to live. And definitely pursue holding accountable the bad, wrong and hurtful conduct by anyone anywhere. If we don’t we make things worse and continue the erosion of the American Character by people of Low Character.

      The Higher Good is a Calling and a
