Defining Courage as Action Despite Fear

Fear shows up in every career — whether it’s speaking up in a meeting, going for a stretch role, or asking for a raise. But courage isn’t about eliminating fear; it’s about acting with it. In this episode, Harvard Business School professor and author Ranjay Gulati shares the science of everyday courage and practical strategies to help you move forward boldly in your career.

You’ll learn:

• The “fear equation” — and why uncertainty and control matter most
• The 9C’s of Courage and how to strengthen them like a muscle
• Mental strategies and rituals to manage fear in real time and take bold action
