One of the major differences between leaders and managers is the ability to influence change. Managers maintain the direction and oversee processes. Managers create stability. Leaders create change and set the direction. Good leaders can take an organization in a new direction with their leadership abilities.Character refers to the values and behaviors that are exhibited by the leader which inspires trust, commitment and followership (Sosik & Megerian, 1999). These things are essential for any global organization to achieve its mission. Characteristics such as integrity, honesty, high ethical standards, courage, discipline, and persistence are the foundations for the leader’s character.
