The CCR is pleased to publish its Character framework, three years in the making.  It was developed because CCR could not locate a framework that combined all of the following requirements:

• Completeness → no major elements missing
• Compactness → actionable and deployable
• Low-correlation variables → no duplication and confusion
• At the appropriate layer of abstraction → for robustness and clarity
• Global relevance → for broad acceptability

It was announced at its 2014 Geneva conference, jointly with the Geneva Declaration.  The six essential Character qualities, from which numerous other related concepts  are derived, are: Mindfulness, Curiosity, Courage, Resilience, Ethics, and Leadership.
