There’s a commonly held belief that leadership courage is a trait that you either have or you don’t. That only the most rarefied few have what it takes to rally people around them to press ahead and meet the uncertainty – or adversity – that stands before them.
But what if courage is not a rare trait, but instead something every leader can exemplify in everyday moments?
In this episode of “Leadership Biz Cafe,” I speak with Alex Budak, award-winning UC Berkeley faculty member and author of “Becoming a Changemaker“, about his Harvard Business Review article where he describes the six forms of everyday courage leaders can develop to successfully drive change and lead their organization through periods of adversity.
And a quick note here that this will be the last episode of “Leadership Biz Cafe” for 2025 as I’m taking a break for the month of December.
But I’ll be back in January 2026 with more guests, more Leadership Espresso Shots, and more insights on how you can succeed and grow in your leadership role.
