Episode 26: The Leadership Code — Courage

Courage in leadership is not the absence of fear. It is the willingness to stand before the people you lead and cast a vision of a future that does not yet exist and ask them to build it with you. In the second installment of The Leadership Code, Charles Evans explores why Courage is the value that transforms a responsible leader into a visionary one. Drawing on Transformational Leadership theory from James MacGregor Burns and Bernard Bass, Charles breaks down how courage manifests in casting the vision, making the unpopular decision in service of the long-term, and standing in the gap when the vision is tested and everyone around you is questioning whether it's worth pursuing. Courage is not the absence of doubt it is the refusal to let doubt have the final word. #LeadOnPurpose
