Brave, Leadership, Courage, Relationships, Impact
Summary
“Who is the brave person?” We’ll look at that in our Thought of the Day. And in our interview segment, Kimberly Davis shares with us principles from her new book, Brave Leadership. That and more on today’s show.
Bob's Thought of the Day
We’ll explore:
- Why I disagree with the last two words of this definition: “Courage is the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc….without fear.”
- The answer to the question “Who is brave?” I learned from my Dad: “That person who is smart enough to be afraid … and still do their job.”
- Why
bravery has much more to do with facing our fears and overcoming
them than it does with being fearless.
