Welcome to this solo series called BOOST, the purpose is to give you little BOOST to your day, to further provide ways to create a thriving organisation.   Are you courageous? Are you comfortable with not knowing?  Here is a paraphrase of a Theodore Roosevelt quote. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.   True courageous leadership is about: Stepping into the arena and being seen, and being comfortable not knowing the outcome. Are we in time of not knowing right now? We are unable to predict the future.  People want leaders who will lead courageously like this: Listening with empathy Confronting reality head on Being real and authentic Make decisions and moving forward Communicating openly and frequently What type of leadership are you going to choose today?   If you want support in helping your organisation thrive, do get in contact with me: https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com/
