Magnanimity - the Leadership Virtue
Alexandre Havard, Founder of the Havard Virtuous Leadership Institute
Magnanimity, or as Aristotle calls it, “greatness of soul,” is an “adornment of the moral virtues; for it makes them greater, and it does not arise without them.” Is the ordinary man, he who is not called to extraordinar y feats, capable of magnanimity? Should he even aspire to be magnanimous? Come hear how the twenty-first century American male can and should apply Aristotle's greatness of soul to our daily routine.
