Inteligência Moral

by Doug Lennick, Fred Kiel

"There is a powerful correlation between strong moral principles and business success. In this book, two globally respected leadership experts illuminate that connection, define the specific competencies that comprise "moral intelligence," and show exactly how to promote it throughout your organization. Drawing on extensive original research, Doug Lennick and Fred Kiel demonstrate how the best performing companies have leaders with a strong moral compass and the ability to follow it - even in a world that may reward bad behavior in the short run.

Lennick and Kiel identify and help you build the moral skills leaders need most, including integrity, responsibility, compassion, and forgiveness. They offer realistic guidance on being a moral leader in both large organizations and entrepreneurial ventures: guidance reflecting decades of experience coaching executives at the very highest levels.

Moral Intelligence also introduces the breakthrough Moral Competency Inventory (MCI): an indispensable metric to assess where you and your organization stand right now.

In recent years, companies have discovered the value of Emotional Intelligence (EI). But EI isn't enough: only leaders with strong moral intelligence can build the trust and commitment that are the foundation of truly great businesses. Be one of those leaders, lead one of those companies, with Moral Intelligence.

Moral Intelligence is as important as cognitive and emotional intelligence

[Whitney · Rating 3 out of 5]

This could’ve been at least 100 pages shorter and been a “good stuff version”. As it stands it’s repetitive, dull, and not particularly insightful. That being said there’s nothing objectionable about it except that it’s like most self help books: it’s only helpful in that it reinforces what you already think. This book will not change your life, but it’ll make you feel smarter about the way you’re already trying to live it.

Moral Intelligence speaks to a core set of values that leaders should have and how to align their professional goals with their morality in order to be more successful. It was a bit repetitive at parts - I was disappointed that it didn't provide more practical ways to integrate the values into your professional self - but it did provide many anecdotes of how highly successful CEO's and other leaders in the business world found and used integrity, responsibility, compassion, and forgiveness in their rise to the top .. and continue to use them today. Although some of the ideas in the book may seem like common sense, it definitely made me take a step back and evaluate my professional self and think critically about how to reach my ideal professional self.

There is also a Moral Competency Inventory at the end to help the reader scale their moral strengths and weaknesses based on the core values that the authors presented in the book.

This was a solid book that discussed having moral intelligence in business. It basically means doing the right thing in all your business decisions. The four key principles the book encourages us all to strive for are the following:

*Integrity
*Responsibility
*Compassion
*Forgiveness

I have much to do to gain true Moral Intelligence in my personal and work life, but I will continually strive to do the right thing. It definitely pays off in the long run. A worthwhile read.

While most of the concepts are common sense, the book is great because it forces you to think about yourself and your values, goals, etc. It gives a good framework to help focus your professional and personal life and has great suggestions for leader-constituent interactions.
