Courageous Leadership
Today’s complex business challenges frequently require leaders to act with courage. This program helps learners define and understand the importance of courage in a leadership context. Learners will explore the factors that enable or limit a leader’s ability to demonstrate courage in general and in the culture of their organization. They will reflect on their own mindset and behaviors and identify opportunities to break out of their “comfort zone” and act with greater courage in the workplace. The learning experience includes an opportunity for practice and concludes with action planning and personal commitment.
