Courage: An Essential Leadership Trait

Courage: An Essential Leadership Trait | New Leadership | Scoop.it

According to Aristotle, courage is the first virtue because it makes all other virtues possible. 

 

Here is a list of ten things you can do as a leader to show and develop courage:

1. Stand up for what is right even if your opinion is unpopular.
2. Keep quiet and let others speak even if you think they are wrong.
3. Delegate with confidence.
4. Say what you mean, and mean what you say.
5. Take responsibility for your actions.
6. Maintain your integrity even when temptation abounds.
7. Ask what you can give, rather than what you can get.
8. Give credit where credit is due.
9. Be kind when giving feedback.
10. Ask. Don’t tell.

Sounds a great list of virtues, wondering if we can have it all in one person ? after all leaders are humans too !

AlGonzalezinfo's comment, January 10, 6:05 AM
Good point Anne! I look at this as a good leadership "job aid" which can remind me of best practices. I will not always achieve them but can continue trying to improve :)

Groundbreaking ideas are no longer a luxury when success is contingent upon an organization's ability to adapt, innovative, and improve. We need look no further than Kodak, Sears, or Sony for validation that status-quo thinking is the fast-track to failure. How, then, can organizations break free of conventional thinking to spark creativity?

The Duality Of Leadership

The Duality Of Leadership | New Leadership | Scoop.it
In life and in leadership, we are constantly dealing with duality. To learn, we need to be curious. To lead, we need to have followers. To be strong, we need to be vulnerable. To give, we need to receive.

Love this post about leadership and duality...

Yes, Conscious Leadership comes from within.

And, it's about starting with ourselves because we are, first and foremost, the leaders of our own lives...

What Is Authentic Leadership?

What Is Authentic Leadership? | New Leadership | Scoop.it
What is authentic leadership? It continues to surprise me how many leaders attempt to be one way at work, while their “true” personality emerges outside of work.
donhornsby's curator insight, May 15, 7:33 AM

(From the article): 3. Authentic leaders lead with their heart, not just their minds. They are not afraid to show their emotions, their vulnerability and to connect with their employees. This does not mean authentic leaders are “soft.” In fact communicating in a direct manner is critical to successful outcomes, but it’s done with empathy; directness without empathy is cruel.
