Leading with emotional courage – how to have hard conversations, create accountability, and inspire action on your most important work Ebook
What makes leadership hard isnt theoretical, its practical. Its not about knowing what to say or do. Its about whether youre willing to experience the discomfort, risk, and uncertainty of saying or doing it. The most critical challenge of leadership is having emotional courage. Thats the idea at the heart of this book, based on Peter Bregmans popular blogs for Harvard Business Review. Each short chapter offers a simple, practical step for building your Emotional Courage muscle, flexing it, watching it grow stronger. By the end of the book, readers will be better able to speak up when others are silent; remain steadfast, grounded, and measured in the face of uncertainty; respond productively to political opposition — maybe even bad-faith backstabbing — without getting sidetracked, distracted, or losing focus; and stay in the discomfort of a colleagues anger without shutting off or becoming defensive.
