How to Develop the Leadership Quality of Courage | Brian Tracy

Hi there, I'm Brian Tracy. First off, I want to say thank you for all the comments and messages I've received asking about my health. I read them all and please keep them coming. My health was really lousy for a while. For about seven months. I was going into the clinic for injections every single day before it turned around. So thank you for sending your feelings to me. And first of all, I want to tell you I'm doing great. I've received questions about why I'm not on my videos. I've been taking a bit of time to focus focus on my health and family. You don't realize how important your health and family are until you are threatened to lose them. So these videos are still my content, my messaging and expertise, and I hope that you're enjoying them. It's my mission to help you achieve your goals faster and easier than you ever thought possible. And I intend to keep doing that now and for years to come. I hope you're enjoying my weekly videos because there will be more of them. So let's get into this week's video right away.

How to Develop the Leadership Quality of Courage Become the kind of person that people would follow voluntarily even if you had no title or position. Brian Tracy Courage is one of the most important leadership qualities. It is courage that causes the leader to launch and is also what causes people to rally around the banner of the leader. The leadership quality of courage, wonderfully enough, can be developed. Courage is not something you're born with, but it is something you can learn. Here are some keys to courage. Number one Courageous people are bold. Courage is something that is a habit. You can develop the habit of courage by practicing it. Whenever you have a tendency to hesitate or back off from a challenge, force yourself to go forward. Practice boldness and practice audacity. Somehow, when you launch yourself continually, things seem to work out for you. Forces and people and circumstances conspire together to help you accomplish things in ways that you cannot now dream of. Second, Courageous people take action. A second key to courage is the willingness to initiate and take action. They don't wait for someone else to do something. Leaders are attack oriented. Third, Courageous people stay the course. One mark of a courageous leader is the ability to stay the course. This is often called courageous patience. No matter how tough it gets, no matter how much tension or stress you face, stay the course and hang in there. Sometimes if you stay the course long enough and hard enough, the sun will break through the clouds and and things will happen for you. Fourth, Courageous people take risks. Remember that the future belongs to the risk takers. There's no greatness in life amongst those who avoid taking risks. Now that doesn't mean that you have to risk life, limb and everything you own. It just means you take calculated risks in the direction of moving forward. Do everything possible to minimize risks, continue, consider the worst possible outcome, but then dare to go forward. Perhaps no other quality distinguishes leaders from non leaders than their willingness and daring to push forward. You can achieve greatness and develop the leadership quality of courage. Take that risk, stay the course and be strong. Now we'd love to hear from you. So our question today is what will you do today to become a better leader tomorrow? Leave a comment below and we'll be sure to follow up with you. Thanks for watching and as Brian says, if you want to change your future, take action. And take action now.
