Courageous leadership provides the impetus, knowledge, and fortitude to solve problems at all levels and enhance organizational effectiveness and job performance. Bold leadership is a state of mind. During times of uncertainty, courage behaviors reflect ethics, such as seeing yourself as a leader no matter your role or position, confronting an uncomfortable truth or issue like admitting you made a bad hire, or not being afraid to take negative action. Thinking differently and being willing to challenge the status quo requires everyday courage. Today’s business climate makes it more critical than ever for leaders to embrace everyday courage, but courageous leadership may not look like what you think.

Unfortunately, most people do not claim courage as one of the primary virtues they display at work. They mistakenly believe that courage is only relevant during particularly challenging times. When you identify the impediments to courageous leadership, you also find the solutions to the organization’s StuckThinking™, such as why many people are afraid to have a “courageous conversation.” The outcome-based on my research: courage is caged in the workplace. Empowering courage allows you to overcome obstacles like intimidation, self-doubt, and uncertainty. While courage remains a “potential” for everyone, it becomes a “reality” for only those willing to pay the price, which is why it is inherently scarce!

You will learn to recognize situations that require courageous leadership, such as how to permit yourself to be courageous, confront uncomfortable truths, speak without ambiguity, transcend rejection, and find new solutions during times of uncertainty by embracing your everyday courage. With over 24 years of original research, Sandra learned a direct correlation between your success quotient and your courage quotient.
