You need to read this blog post by Steve Kayser. You’ll probably want to read the book he discusses also. You cannot have lasting Success With People without moral strength and character.

My response to this post: Thank you and Steven Pressfield for challenging common people to display moral strength and character as we fight for the very survival of our nations. We must look beyond 2008 because those in power and the candidates will not significantly change anything. The frustration of people with limited or no influence is rising to the breaking point in a growing number of nations worldwide. Therefore the time is coming when the weak overcome the powerful; the poor outlast the rich; and leaders who demonstrate moral strength and character are desperately needed.
