Course Description

Courage is a powerful key leadership characteristic, irrespective of one’s formal role.  It requires engagement and acting in support of purpose, while in the face of concern, worry or fear.  In organizations we want to be courageous, to do what we believe is right and have positive impact, while still acting in pursuit of achieving the organization’s vision. Courage means navigating without a pre-existing roadmap and is an ability that can be learned. Knowing why and when courageous actions are important promotes being proactive.

In this session, initial steps are formulated to help create a clearer sense of personal priorities regarding where and how one would like to take courageous organizational action(s). Through organizational examples and short exercises, participants identify where they would like to act more courageously and how to do so including questioning the status quo, taking risks, supporting others, stepping into the unknown, and managing uncertainty.

Learning Objectives:

• Identifying courage in an organizational context
• Translating the concept of courage to organizational action
• Recognizing multiple ways one can be courageous in organizational settings
