The chapter highlights the importance of traits, virtues, and mutual obligations such as moral courage, sincerity, forbearance, effective communication, eloquence, trust, responsibility, and kindness. These virtues help to generate good leadership that demonstrates leading through action and interactions, and not just preaching. Above these virtues is moral courage.
