Virtues Promote Self-fulfillment

The next member of the “character community” to be profiled is Alexandre Havard. Alexandre is a graduate of one of France’s leading law schools. He has worked as an attorney-at-law in several European countries. He is an alumnus of IESE Business School. Alexandre has lectured throughout the United States, at the Moscow MGIMO, the Plekhanov Russian Academy of Economics and the Russian Academy of National Economy. Havard is the author of the book “Virtuous Leadership” published in New York in 2007 and translated into 13 languages.

Drawing on the lives of some of the greatest political, intellectual and religious leaders of modern times, and the author’s personal experience, Virtuous Leadership demonstrates that leadership and virtue are not only compatible, they are actually synonymous. Virtuous Leadership defines each of the classical human virtues most essential to leadership – magnanimity, humility, prudence, courage, self-control and justice. It demonstrates how these virtues promote personal transformation and the attainment of self-fulfillment. Virtuous Leadership is meant to be your guidebook in the quest for moral excellence.

The Havard Virtuous Leadership Institute is an international community of teachers and consultants who revolutionize life, culture, and business by spreading an understanding of leadership consistent with the highest demands of human nature and the noblest expectations of the human heart. The classically trained Havard certainly adds a sense of “communitas” to the very spirit of our growing character community.
