Becoming a Courageous Leader
How are you doing? How are you holding up while leading through these days of fear and uncertainty? I thought of you recently during a conversation about courageous leadership.
The conversation was with a guest on LeaderCast. While telling of his experiences of courageous leaders he said, “It takes courage to follow Jesus.” Wow. I know that to be true, but I have not heard it articulated regarding leadership.
So, I began to think, it takes courage to love your neighbor as yourself.
It takes courage to love the people with whom you disagree much less love your enemy.
It takes courage to pray for those who hurt you as well as to be reconciled with them. It takes courage to turn the other cheek, forgive as you have been forgiven, and to serve with care and compassion. It takes courage to lead in times of fear and uncertainty.
