This article focuses on Charles Andrew Ballard, president of the Human Resource Planning Society (HRPS) in the United States. As HRPS President, Ballard moved beyond exhortation to embody that most elegant leadership practice-leadership by example. One of his colleagues says that Ballard didn't command them to respect each other; he respected, listened to and heard each of them. He did not counsel them to be tactful; he personified diplomacy and he built bridges so that his colleagues could cooperate more easily. He was intelligent and insightful with an eloquence more often demonstrated in his actions than heard in his speeches. Ballard's life was one of integrity and grace, of kindness and compassion. The greatest honor his colleagues can give to his memory is to emulate that integrity, grace, kindness and compassion in their lives and in their work. Another colleague says that Ballard certainly had more than his fair share of standout attributes: an infectious smile and friendly spirit, an unfailing ability to get behind great ideas and marshall resources to pull them off, and a deep and abiding sense of empathy.
