Bestselling New Management Skills Book, "Character Leadership," Unveils Groundbreaking Leadership Models

BALTIMORE, Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Leadership takes on a new dimension with the release of Character Leadership: How to Attract, Retain, and Energize Employees to Create a Winning Organization. Written by industrial psychologist Alison C. Jones, this compelling book, which recently reached #1 bestseller status in three Amazon categories, introduces fresh new models to delve into the profound impact of character on leadership effectiveness. For companies seeking to improve leadership practices in any industry—public or private—these principles will guide you on a path to leadership that drives results and inspires positive change in your organization.

In Character Leadership, Ms. Jones introduces two powerful frameworks that offer a roadmap for aspiring and seasoned leaders alike:

• The Vessel Model of Leadership: Three distinct leadership modes—victim, victor, and vessel—that shape a leader's overall approach and drive every decision, relationship, and action.
• The Five Essential States of Leadership: Five critical states—awareness, acceptance, abundance, authenticity, and appreciation—that underpin character-driven leadership.

Ms. Jones challenges leaders to develop the mindset and inner traits of a "vessel leader" through which positive impact can flow. Vessel leadership focuses on the greater good and a higher purpose rather than individual accolades. This type of transformational leadership can only be developed through strengthening the Five Essential States of Leadership, which Ms. Jones describes in the book with pertinent anecdotes and plenty of opportunities for personal reflection. As the book reveals, vessel leadership is not just a feel-good concept—it is a strategic imperative for attracting, retaining, and energizing employees to create a winning organization.

"The world is hungry for character leaders, and it needs you," states Ms. Jones. "This is a magnificent calling. Now go out and embrace this calling, letting your character light the way."

Ms. Jones is now bringing this powerful message to organizations through her transformational speaking and consulting services.
