10 Leadership Virtues for Disruptive Times: Coaching Leaders to Thrive in the New Reality
Disruption exposes the true quality of leadership. When markets shift overnight, teams feel exhausted, and certainty disappears, technical skill alone is not enough. In 10 Leadership Virtues for Disruptive Times, Tom Ziglar argues that leaders endure chaos not by controlling every variable, but by developing inner qualities that guide wise action under pressure. The book outlines ten virtues—ranging from identity and integrity to resilience, self-discipline, and hope—that help leaders remain steady, trustworthy, and effective in a fast-changing world. What makes this book especially useful is its blend of principle and practice. Ziglar does not present leadership as a title or a personality style. He treats it as a daily discipline rooted in character. That perspective is timely for leaders facing cultural change, economic uncertainty, digital transformation, and rising expectations from employees and customers alike. Tom Ziglar brings unusual authority to the subject. As CEO of Ziglar, Inc., and the son of legendary teacher Zig Ziglar, he combines a values-based leadership tradition with practical coaching experience. The result is a concise but thoughtful guide for leaders who want to thrive without losing their integrity, purpose, or humanity.

Excellence Is A Daily Leadership Discipline
Disruption tempts leaders to lower standards in the name of survival. Ziglar argues the opposite: difficult seasons make excellence more necessary, not less.

Vision Turns Uncertainty Into Direction
When the future feels foggy, people do not need false certainty; they need meaningful direction. Ziglar treats vision as a virtue because it is more than forecasting trends or setting goals.
