within an organizational setup (Phillips and Stanley, 2011). The aim of this study is to apply the

knowledge gained in the organization’s efficiency. Owing to the social influence bestowed on

leaders, they are able to guide and direct their followers to the common goals or purpose of the

organization. To achieve this, leaders require key competencies and skills that will enable them

develop healthy organizational behavior among their followers. This paper therefore is going to

healthy organizational character.

leadership is primarily based on the strength of the character of a leader. Leaders with strong

character achieve sustainable leadership. Essentially, leaders should develop leadership practice
