Leadership is often tested not by what we know but by who we are. Character steadies us when the path forward is unclear. It shows up in the decisions we make under stress, how we treat others when stakes are high, and the culture we build through our everyday actions.
Whether you lead from the C-suite, advise from behind the scenes, or guide teams on the ground, and leading with character in the end is the metric of success. Wins and losses will come and go, but character will endure.
Join us for a live, One-Hour Conversation with General McChrystal on May 29 at 10 a.m.
Drawing from his latest book, On Character: Choices That Define a Life, General McChrystal will explore how everyday decisions become the foundation of trust, influence, and lasting leadership.
It’s an invitation to reflect, reconnect, and realign leadership with what matters most.
Why it Matters
This conversation is a chance to examine your own character: how it shapes your decisions, influences those around you, and defines the kind of leader you become.
Character doesn’t just belong to individuals; it defines teams, cultures, and entire organizations.
That’s why we strongly encourage you to invite your executive team, principal, and colleagues to join you. This is a rare opportunity to engage in a shared conversation about values, trust, and what truly matters.
Want to go deeper before the conversation?
We encourage you to explore Stan McChrystal’s latest book, On Character: Choices That Define a Life. It’s a deeply personal reflection on the small, unseen decisions that shape leadership and legacy, a powerful primer for the discussion ahead. It’s available at major retailers nationwide.
