Character matters in leadership. Alexander the Great had exceptional leadership skills that enabled him to conquer the eastern half of the ancient world, but he was ultimately destroyed by his inability to manage his phenomenal success. The corporate world is full of similar examples, such as the now incarcerated Dennis Kozlowski (former ceo of Tyco), who, flush with success at the head of his empire, was driven down the highway of self-destruction by an out of control ego.
