Honor Under Pressure
Subtitle
Building a Code That Holds When Everything Else Fails
Honor Under Pressure examines the demands of leadership in an era of institutional instability, declining trust, and compounding crises. Christopher Myers argues that leaders need a personal code strong enough to guide decisions when familiar frameworks fail. Drawing on the lives of Cato, George Washington, Seneca, Abraham Lincoln, and George Marshall, the book explores five modes of leadership and the risks each carries. It connects these historical lessons to practical disciplines for reading a crisis, making difficult decisions, using technology responsibly, and sustaining judgment under pressure. The book is the first volume of The Fourth Turning Leader series.
