About The Virtue Proposition
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. Neither of these embrace virtues, and neither has, nor ever will, deliver consistent superior results.
There is a courageous third way: virtuous leadership. Berg shows why virtues will empower you and your organization on the journey toward sustained excellence. The Virtue Proposition provides actionable insights and practices focused on Virtue Intelligence™ (VQ) that delivers renewed purpose to leaders of character, personifying the Five Virtues of love, integrity, truth, excellence, and relationships. Individuals trained to high VQ become agents of transformation across industries and within their organizations and teams.
This book is for change-makers. It speaks to men and women who witness the absence of virtues and know they can do better. If you want to help shape healthy families, communities, and government for the common good, discover the power of virtuous leadership now.
