There are many leadership programs and resources available, yet we still have a shortage of leaders and an increase in scandals that shake our confidence in business and government. When leadership programs do not include character development, they are not incorrect but they are incomplete.

Newspaper annals are filled with stories of leaders of corporations such as Kenneth Lay (Enron), Bernie Ebbers (Worldcom), Dennis Koslowski (Tyco), and others whose leadership abilities gave them great influence but their lack of character ruined corporations.

Jim Jones, Ivan Boesky, and David Koresh were influential leaders but their lack of character resulted in the death and financial ruin of many. Ivan Boesky is even quoted as saying, “Greed is all right, by the way I think greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself.”

At Robb Thompson International (RTI), we realize that leadership ability alone is inadequate and even incorporating “best practices” to achieve business excellence is insufficient. We recognize that in order to positively impact society, corporate and government leaders must have a foundation of strong personal character; character that results in a code of ethics that is inviolate in governing personal and corporate behavior. Why is that important? Character-centered leadership leads to workplace excellence, which in turn leads to good business, and good business leads to a strong community. Everyone wins when character is the foundation of all decisions but when character is lacking, we all lose.

RTI is known for expanding the leadership capabilities of individuals in the public and private sector in profit, nonprofit, and government organizations. We have had major impact on hundreds of government and corporate leaders world-wide. As we equip people with character, excellence, and leadership ability we create a lifeline to a better tomorrow, a lifeline not easily destroyed because a cord made of three strands cannot be easily broken.
