Trust is important to leadership and requires a person of good character. How would you describe a person of character?

a person of good character is someone who always does the right thing, even when no one is watching...

A person of character SFC Russell Shaw is a person who lives by appropriate values, not just talks about them. If you have character (which simply means doing what is right whether or not anyone is watching) your on duty and off duty persona need to be congruent; you can't have two different personas... This is about walking the walk, 24/7, not just talking the talk, as is often in the Army.

Character is remaining faithful to your ideals and doing the right thing even when folks do not like you for staying the course.
