Attack with Courage
As a leader in the business world, courage has to with the
eagerness and intelligence to face what needs to be fixed or changed and do
what needs to be done. Courage depends upon you being confident in your own
personal values and convey them in every aspect of your company or
organization. It requires you to be direct in communication, clear and
confident in your persuasion, and prepared to do what needs to be done
regardless of its acceptance.
Courage is one way a leader can work to influence others in
their line of work. It’s been shown that a leader must be able to focus on no
more than four core places of excellence to further their company. A few
examples include: Making the office the best place to work for employees,
excellent customer service involvement, operational excellence in all aspects
of the company and financial strength.
The most significant thing a leader must remember when trying
to lead with courage is listening to
others influencing you. The voices of employees and associates relays
information back to you about how they like working with or for you, this kind
of information can influence you to see your company from a different
perspective and share new, innovative ideas to make a more productive place to
work.
Courage is about the directness you put forth in your company
aligning with your beliefs and values. Are you ready to attack with courage?
