<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis skill seems so obvious, but reality shows how difficult it is to practice. In my observation of these CEOs that I greatly admired, they used it in many situations. I can summarize some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It takes courage to stay true to your own principles. I’ve known other leaders whose principles were unfortunately compromised out of pure fear or convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It takes courage to make difficult decisions, often lonely ones, with only the best interests of the organization in mind, not friends, appearances, maintaining a good image, or even acknowledging past wrong decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It takes courage to face storms of multiple pressures from shareholders, employees, customers, and competitors. I learned from these leaders that, courage comes before resilience, which is developed by facing difficult situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Courage precedes the skill of transparency described above because transparency always comes at a cost, although the overall balance is positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I concluded that having courage does not mean there is no insecurity, fear, indecision, or doubts when making high-risk decisions, but this skill overcomes all other barriers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
