Three Quick Tools to Conquer Leadership Doubt and Fear
The reality is that every human being has doubts and fears. These emotions can override our logic, behavior, and choices, taking us away from our character and commitments. Living and leading with honor is the most critical battle that we face in life, especially in leadership.
As a leadership coach, consultant, and trainer for more than 25 years, I can see clearly that courage is the central challenge for every human being��� and especially leaders. Maintaining the standards and commitment to character, integrity, and ethics can be challenging for everyone else���especially leaders. They must make tough decisions���hard because deep inside they have doubts and fears.
Leaders also must learn to adapt from their natural wiring/behavior to gain skills that will enable them to achieve both good results and good relationships. Courage is the foundation, the anchor, the core, the driving energy that is fundamental to being a good person and especially a good leader.
Many people are visual learners and use a picture to help them understand and remember key points. Here is a model and a couple of tools that we have found most helpful over the last 25 years.
The Leadership Attributes Model. You can see below that courage is the driving energy that enables the essential foundations of leadership. The Honor Code. It has seven articles, and courage is the one at the center of the model. We intentionally moved it there a few years ago because it became so clear that it is required to live out all the other articles. The Courage Challenge Card. This small coaching card provides a practical model and method for fulfilling the commitment to ���Lean into the pain of your doubts and fears to do what you know is right, even when it doesn���t feel natural or safe.���
The Leadership Attributes model mentioned above is shown here. and you can download the other two visual models at www.leadingwithhonor.com/tools. Please share this post with others.
