It is timeless virtue that creates sustainable value. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThoughtful leaders are keenly aware of the enormous challenge they face to drive high performance in a world that continues to ratchet up pressure and uncertainty. Some leaders respond by getting tough and establishing strict rules. They get people in line, but they don't inspire excellence. Wise leaders, on the other hand, help their people practice character to navigate their way through the turbulence--without lowering performance expectations. As a result, their people are more reliable under pressure. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eException to the Rule \u003c\/i\u003elinks ancient wisdom with contemporary science on high performance, teamwork, and engagement.

Everyone can develop habits to become better than they were. While character cannot be legislated, character can be cultivated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs virtue proves its value, the culture you have can evolve into the culture you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3894971\"\u003ePeter Rea\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGraw-Hill Companies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781266047916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1266047913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BUS\"\u003eBusiness \u0026amp; Economics\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BUS000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McGraw-Hill Companies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44689642160365,"sku":"9781266047916","price":33.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_b943477c-7e45-478b-94a4-66c2aa56114b.jpg?v=1703694284","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/exception-to-the-rule-pb-9781266047916","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
