While most people in the leadership field are familiar with
competencies like problem solving, financial analysis and

It is the ability to
confront fear, pain,
danger, uncertainty or
intimidation.
22. The Key
●
The key to courageous leadership and conscious action is how one
responds to what arises on the path, rather than whether individual
circumstances are defined as great, good, bad or just plain ugly.
●
In conscious, courageous leadership, every situation or circumstance
— every so-called success or failure, barrier or doorway — is simply
another opportunity for greater creativity, mastery, and fulfillment of
higher potential.
23. Tips to improve your Courage quotient
●
Choose role model who exemplifies behavior, values and beliefs
that show courage in action.
●

24. COURAGE
Courageous leaders fight their fears
and do what needs to be done in the
face of opposition.
“What lies behind us and what lies
before us are tiny matters compared
to what lies within us.”
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
25. This is what Osho says about courage:
●
"You cannot be truthful if you are not courageous - You
cannot be loving if you are not courageous - You cannot
be trusting if you are not courageous- You cannot inquire
into reality if you are not courageous - Hence courage
comes first and everything else follows."
27. INTEGRITY AND TRUST
Integrity:
Firm adherence to a code of moral or artistic values.
Trust:
Firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a
person or thing.
28. Integrity
Integrity is set of values that we hold ourselves responsible
for and demonstrate in our behavior toward others.
We can develop and maintain integrity .
We develop self-awareness and become independent
thinkers by keeping our promises.
29. Trust
●
If we break our promises to ourselves and to other
people, then we erode trust.
●
It is necessary to 'walk the talk'. The assuring words
that you speak or write are like promises. People
expect these promises to be kept. And if they are not
then the problem arises as the trust and credibility are
lost.
●
Thus always remember, 'When you break a promise,
more than the promise gets broken.'
35. By practising this competency you can:
●
Pursue goals passionately.
●
You are driven to be the best in whatever you do.
●
Find the opportunities and make the most of them.
36. Remember
●
A lack of this competency will result in falling short of your
goals, even though you may have the opportunities.
●
But once people are involved and action ensues, enthusiasm
becomes contagious.
“Enthusiasm finds the opportunities and energy makes the most
of them.”
- Henry S. Haskins

value of that talent and create a position to put that talent to good use.
41. Tips to team building contd...
●
Learn to listen: Make time to listen to your team members and hear what
they are actually saying. Sometimes, people don't know how to clearly say
what they mean. Learn to listen to even what is not being said.
●
Lead by example: Your team will only truly learn the standards you expect
of them, if you walk your talk. You, be their example.
●
Confronting fear: True leaders are not fearless people. They are those who
face their fear, acknowledge it and move ahead towards their objective
inspite of the fear.
●
Dress right: The way you look has an impact on the responses you get.
Ensure you dress crisply, neatly and in keeping with your role....don't
overdo it, at the same time avoid being sloppy. Dress to convey you mean

In the game of people, they tend to judge you by the way you look on the
outside.

required.
●
Mutual trust and respect are a foundation for team-
based organizations.

under preferential rating.

strengths as well as what skills you need to improve.
●
Your focus should be to lead your organization to
success.
●
Ensure positive results through implementation of
various competencies.
57. Acknowledge your competencies
Putting it all together
●
Based on the situations you face everyday you can
determine which of the competencies you will use to
ensure the success of your efforts.
●
Recognize that sometimes we have to 'stretch'
ourselves to make a positive difference in the lives of
others.
Human beings by nature are spontaneous and playful creatures. Yet the older we become, the less appropriate it seems for us to allow it to be expressed. We get professionally serious and then pay comedians to do a job we've forgotten how to do ourselves.
You will need to find your own comfort level with what works and what does not, based on the people you lead, the situation, the culture, the pressures of your industry, etc; but we invite you to work on incorporating this competency in some manner into your daily life. Studies have proven that you will live longer.
Narrow your objectives
You probably won't be able to achieve every financial goal you've ever dreamed of. So identify your goals clearly and why they matter to you, and decide which are most important. By concentrating your efforts, you have a better chance of achieving what matters most.
Focus first on the goals that matter
To accomplish primary goals, you will often need to put desirable but less important ones on the back burner.
Be prepared for conflicts
Even worthy goals often conflict with one another. When faced with such a conflict, you should ask yourself questions like: Will one of the conflicting goals benefit more people than the other? Which goal will cause the greater harm if it is deferred?
Put time on your side
The most important ally you have in reaching your goals is time. The more time you have, the more chance you have of success. Your age is a big factor -- younger people (who have more time to build their nest egg) can invest differently than older ones.
Choose carefully
Once you have your list together, you need to rank the items in order of importance
Start now
The longer you wait to identify and begin working toward your goals, the more difficulty you'll have reaching them.
Sweat the big stuff
Once you have prioritized your list of goals, keep your spending on course. Always ask yourself: "Is this taking me nearer to my primary goals -- or leading me further away from them?" If a big expense doesn't get you closer to your goals, try to defer or reduce it.
Be prepared for change
Your needs and desires will change as things change, so you should probably reexamine your priorities at regular intervals.
