According to the book description
of Leadership
Basics: Conquering the Seven Deadly Sins, “By avoiding the pitfalls of
the Seven Deadly Sins and embracing the Seven Heavenly Virtues, leaders can
modify their 'rules of behavior' and become imminently successful. It is a
choice. One road leads to a balanced, purposeful path of successful leadership
while the other spirals downward to chaos. One brings harmony, the other
discord. Which road do you want to take? There are two things you should to do
to become a successful leader. One is to act like a leader, and the other is to
take the steps to become a leader. Leadership Basics will help you accomplish
both. This unique guide will teach you to conquer the Seven Deadly Sins- pride,
envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust- by using the seven heavenly
virtues- humility, kindness, patience, diligence, charity, temperance, and
chastity. Through specific examples and helpful advice, you'll learn what a
leader looks like and the simple steps to get there. You hold in your heart all
the traits you need to be an effective leader, and you hold in your hands an
inspirational, comprehensive guide to Leadership Basics to draw those traits
out. What are you waiting for?”
