Synopsis

The Courageous Leadership workshop introduces leaders to a specific understanding of courage, illustrates how they can become more courageous, and demonstrates the vital role courage has in the workplace and our lives. Designed to be used within the Courageous Leadership workshop, this 30-item self-assessment measures the ways one currently applies courage in the workplace and where opportunities exist for one to utilize it more frequently and in different ways. During or prior to the workshop, facilitators can administer the profile so that participants can assess which of the three types of courage (TRY, TRUST, TELL) they use most often, and which they need to use more.

From the Back Cover

Overcome fear and adversity in the workshop - with courage!
Courage is the first virtue of leadership success. Leaders require courage to make bold decisions even when there are dissenters, to say what needs to be said not matter the consequences, and to place their trust in those they manage. Despite the central role that courage plays in leadership success, there has been little time, attention, or thought dedicated to building courage in the workplace. That situation is about to change.
The Courageous Leadership Profile helps introduce leaders and managers to a new development practice called courage-building. As a new professional discipline,courage-building is predicated on the assumption that people perform better when they are behaving courageously versus when they are anxious and afraid. To be a courage-builder, however, you must learn and become comfortable role modeling courageous behavior. This profile is designed to help you begin a process to:

• Learn about the three different types of courage and when (and how) to use each
• Gain insight into your own "courage history" so that you can use the past to strengthen your future
• Understand the impact that fear has on your personal and organizational performance
• Learn about two distinct way of leading, and approaches for inspiring more courageous behavior among the people with whom you work
• Become a courageous leader

By learning to apply the strategies and approaches that are introduced in the Courageous Leadership workshop and then applying them in your workplace, you will be able to step up to challenges more readily, embrace change more fully, and speak up more assertively. Get ready to put your courage to work!
