The Virtue Proposition

Five Virtues That Will Transform Leadership, Team Performance, and You

Virtues generate success.

Virtuous leaders, virtue-grounded teams, and virtue-led organizations raise performance. The Virtue Proposition details how. 

Sig Berg, founder of the Severn Leadership Group, explores what’s lacking from traditional leadership, with its focus on the rules and rituals of boardrooms and c-suites, and from iconoclastic leadership, which encourages you to move fast and break things. Neither of these approaches prioritizes virtues, and neither has, nor ever will, lead to sustainable, superior results.

There is a courageous third way: virtuous leadership. Virtues will lift you and your organization on a path toward long-term achievement and meaning. The Virtue Proposition is full of actionable insights and practices focused on Virtue Intelligence (VQ) that instills purpose to leaders of character, embracing the Five Virtues of love, integrity, truth, excellence, and relationships. Individuals trained to high VQ become agents of transformation in their domains and especially within their organizations and teams.

This book is for change-makers. It is meant to reach men and women who notice the absence of virtues and know they can make a difference by seeking that third way. If you want to be a catalyst to shape healthy families, communities, and government for the common good, embrace the power of virtuous leadership now.
