Introduction
Hello and welcome to Fearless Leadership,
a course from Scribd Coach. I’m Kim Martin, and I am so excited to be your guide in increasing your efficacy as a leader!
There’s a quote from Ariana Huffington that I really love, and I’d like to start off this course by sharing it with you. It goes: Fearlessness is the mother of reinvention.
Most people would agree that fearlessness is a necessary element of making change in your life and the world around you - but what exactly does fearlessness look like?
Fearlessness can take on many meanings. In this context, we define fearlessness as the ability to resist conformity when it goes against our beliefs and values -- or the commitment and determination to reject limitations that are placed on us. Above all else, fearless people aren’t afraid of the unknown - they embrace it. This way, they don’t waste time hesitating to make decisions. They act.
So, if this is how we define fearlessness, then what makes a fearless leader?
Primarily, fearless leaders are bold. They make decisions that are motivated by their values. They don’t doubt themselves, and they don’t cave to shame or external pressure; instead, they have confidence. They have faith in themselves and are willing to take a risk and make a mistake. They don’t fear failure; instead, they expect that they will fail at times but are eager to step forward to move their business or their lives in the right direction. Even better, they bounce back from failure fast! I love working with fearless leaders because they are open to direct and honest feedback. They don’t take it personally; instead, they see it as a learning opportunity.
