So how do you overcome fear or anxiety as an effective leader when you're faced with difficult problems or situations? Well, the reality is you can either sit paralyzed by fear, worried about doing the wrong thing, or you could answer the same question that is great to use in your one-on-one conversations to nudge the people that you're serving. What would you guess you should do here? And once you think of that answer internally, Take action. Try it. You can always adjust activity. You can always make adjustments and changes to your course. But you can't steer a parked car. You overcome anxiety or fear or doubt with activity and adjustments. I'm Sean Glaze. That's what effective leaders do.
