Courage is a necessary virtue in order to succeed in business and in life. Just as a wobbling infant musters up the courage to take his first steps, we too must be willing to overcome our fears and courageously face the challenges of everyday life. Some people are, by nature, more courageous than others, but we can all gain more courage by developing the necessary mindset.

In this month's newsletter, you'll get some pointers on building courage through your leadership challenges. Practice these and, like the lion in the Wizard of Oz, you might just earn your badge of courage!
