Leading Courageously may require Facing Pain
Courage, the ability to do something that frightens one, is a mindset that requires grit and determination.
As part of my planning process when I established my coaching and consulting business in November 1999, I identified Courage as one of my key values and this grit and determination, is still intrinsic to my day to day activities 23 years later.
Most organisations, taking a considered approach, small or large, have a list of core values that are displayed on the wall and show up in a variety of company marketing materials, from the business web site to T-Shirts or coffee mugs.
During induction or orientation, many organisations train their new employees about their values and how to live them. And yet, on any number of occasions, you can see leaders acting in direct opposition of what they claim to be their values. These are often the same companies where two weeks after new-employee induction, someone takes you to lunch and explains the ‘real values’ of the organisation. Or, if no one is looking out for you, you find out only after stepping on a cultural land mine.
What separates a good manager from an exceptional leader is explained in "The Courageous Leader". Often as a leader you are required to draw on your inner strength in the face of pain; to be willing to face any challenge rather than avoid it.
