Courageous Leadership: Practical Ways to Be More Daring
As a leader, you're barraged with problems every day, and sometimes it's easier to take the path of least resistance. You don't speak up because it might get pushback. You procrastinate on a decision or don't try that new idea because you're afraid of failure. Or you don’t hold someone accountable because they’re a “just a volunteer.”
In these moments, you're missing opportunities, you're wasting money, and you're eroding your team members' trust.
Building your reputation as a courageous leader doesn't necessarily mean making big, bold, game-changing moves. It happens every day, little by little, as you own your strengths, speak up, and build a culture of accountability.
You will leave with:
- Inspiration to own your strengths and build deeper influence and impact.
- Practical tools and techniques to set clear expectations, encourage innovation, and present ideas with confidence.
- Techniques to prepare for and hold difficult conversations up, down, and sideways, including our I.N.S.P.I.R.E. approach to performance management.
- A personal plan to be a bit more daring.
