4 Quick Ways to Build Leadership Courage in Tough Times

The internal landscape of the workplace continues to shift and change, as teams are doing more with fewer people. This also threatens work/life balance and/or burnout, new leaders being placed in leadership positions early without the necessary training and mentorship to succeed, and organizations working to retain their people talent during the ���Great Resignation���.

How does courage keep us on track to achieve our goals, not cut corners, and do it with integrity? Let���s look at four ways ���

Courage helps us believe in ourselves. Inner confidence is an essential part of courage; it helps us overcome our fears and stand for what we say we believe.Courage helps us stay committed to what we know is right. Commitment is essential. Where was the commitment to honor with the accountants who cheated at EY? As Vietnam POWs, we had to confront our doubts and fears to resist enemy exploitation���even suffering torture to be faithful to our country and ourselves.Courage will help us stand firm when we are alone. There are daily examples showing that we humans are greatly influenced by our peers and teammates, especially when they are stepping over the line of ethical behavior.Courage helps us get counsel on ethical issues. Our emotions and past experiences can cloud our vision of the line separating right and wrong. When your human side is being tempted to step over the line, share the situation with a wise and honorable friend and ask them if it passes the smell test.

We must all remain vigilant and choose the truth to get the best results for us, our teams and our society. Please post your suggestions and feedback too.
