This Isn't A Solo Journey | Does Character Still Matter?

In the past, character wasn’t just admired, it was expected. People demanded integrity, and even fought duels over questions of honor. But today, does character still matter?


General McChrystal is a retired United States Army general best known for his command of Joint Special Operations Command in the mid-2000s. He established a consultancy firm, McChrystal Group, in 2011 and advises senior executives at multinational corporations on navigating complex change and building stronger teams.
