Courage – What if Everyone Had It?

Fear is inevitable. Courage is a choice.

What if leaders at every level exercised Courage? A CEO or a Police Chief who exercised Courage. A middle manager or a shift supervisor who exercised Courage. A new hire or a recent police academy graduate who exercised Courage. Now imagine that the entire company or the entire agency or your entire family exercised Courage. What would that look like? What would it be like to be part of that? What would be accomplished?

Top Leaders would:

● Admit their mistakes and take responsibility for the mistakes of their organization.

● Coach and develop the people who could someday take their place.

● Create an environment where people can and will feel they can argue with them without retribution.

● Follow through on the consequences for poor behavior or performance no matter who is the offender.

● Admit their mistakes and take responsibility for the mistakes of their team.
