Summary
Courageous leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about asking the right questions. In this episode, we explore what courage looks like in practice: creating psychological safety, supporting career development for your employees, and following through on what you say you’ll do (even if it means calling every two weeks for ten months). You’ll learn why psychological safety is non-negotiable, how to see your team members’ goals through their lens (not yours), what courageous perseverance really looks like in action, and how to set one specific goal that you WILL follow through on this week.
