Leaders have to be willing to put on the brave face and say “no” to things that are not right, despite whatever negative consequences may come to them. Having a title and automatically saying “yes” to every request or decision is not being a leader. Blindly following another, based solely on their rank of command, is not a part of leadership and certainly is not brave. True need to objectively look at scenarios and navigate themselves, their followers and the general good safely through to the end.īeing brave means that a leader must do what they know is right (morally, ethically and legally). We must then use that strength to face difficulty in decision-making and risk-taking. This is bravery and it is crucial to be a successful leader.īravery is defined by Merriam-Webster’s dictionary as “having or showing mental or moral strength to face danger, fear or difficulty.” As leaders, we to have/show mental or moral strength. At one time in every leader’s career, they will have to stand up and do the right thing (whether it is loved or hated by others). One element (or competency), that is almost always necessary for leadership success, is often left out of development plans and strategies - bravery. These include competencies identified as important for leadership and development plans to teach candidates how to lead. Companies and organizations in the private and public sectors have many leadership succession strategies.
