 A good working definition of character is
those abilities that help us
meet the demands of life. That is to say that life, especially the life
of leadership, has certain demands, expectations, and requirements built
into it. Whatever helps you handle these successfully is part of your
character.
The Greek word for character is translated in the New Testament as
experience (for example, in Rom. 5:3). The implication is that our
experiences in life help craft our character.
People who are experienced
in healthy relationships, vulnerability, honesty, acceptance, and grace
will tend to have a more mature and integrated character than those who
only know how to relate and lead from their head and intellect.
