Anyone can be a leader who innovates and collaborates in good times, who has moments of inspiring others- whose greatness depends on being at the right place at the right time.
You want more. I know you do. I do too.
Courageous leaders are called to a higher level of competence and commitment to serve others. It calls us to do less, and BE more. It calls us to have the guts to do the hard work, make the tough decisions, and to muster the energy to inspire and encourage, even when we are depleted.
We need not be perfect, but fully present with people- when we’re needed and when we’re not- as leaders, as team members and as human beings, in good and in challenging times.
Courage is a choice, it is a way of being that propels us forward even when we are fearful, even when we feel small or anxious about failing. Courage is there for us when we can’t see or feel it (at all), when we think we need it, and when we don’t.
The ability to take that first vital step into Courage is what separates the good enough, from thegreat leaders, the leaders who check the box and go through the motions from the leaders who are guided by a passion for their cause, their organization, their people. They are engaged, present and willing to take the necessary risks to strive for greatness.
Courageous leaders are unstoppable.
