THE COURAGE TO LEAD THE FUTURE
High performance depends on our management of fear, individually and collectively (Leadership/Motivational)
Leadership is full of challenges, both from our complex external situations and from our sometimes even more complex internal narratives (our thinking habits). These challenges put pressure on us and make it more likely that we resort to the self-protection modes of avoidance, attack, apathy or acquiescence. Sometimes this works for us, and sometimes it adds to the complexity of the situation. Our unconscious reactions can sometimes make it difficult to communicate, collaborate, change, to make decisions. Our future success in this ever-changing, volatile world requires us as individuals and collectives to elevate above our automatic fear response and its corresponding behaviours into more conscious communication.
The quality of our service and our work as leaders rely on us having the conversations that matter, creating psychological safety for our colleagues, and leading behavioural flexibility and courage. Our primal fear response although natural must be managed both individually and collectively for us to achieve our goals. This is how we will lead courageously into the future.
Manage your own and your team’s fear.
Lead a sustainably high-performance future through courageous conversations, compassionate connections and flexibility in behaviour.
