Courage - The real key to leadership

By

Courage for me is one the most understated traits of great leaders; we liberally discuss many other areas of leadership, but it takes courage to:

  • Stand out from the crowd
  • Have confidence in your own ability, and others around you
  • Make the unpopular decisions
  • Not compromise personal values
  • Admit your mistakes
  • Seek feedback to improve yourself

At the end of each day ask yourself; "did I show courage today to do the hard things?"   

If your answer was "NO"; just try a little harder tomorrow.....
