Courage is a skill and like all skills it can be learned and mastered with practice. Yet it’s not ‘pie in the sky’ fanciful thinking. This may sound like an enormous endeavor. Indeed, cultivating a ‘ culture of courage ’ – in the places we connect, collaborate and create - has no finish line. Embedding it within any undertaking or enterprise is an active, continual process that requires a collective, concerted and continual effort. Neither is courage is a one-time decision.
This applies as much to each of us as individuals as it does to the communities and organizations in which we belong. Rather courage is the decision to act amid our fear and despite the risks, managing them appropriately but not discounting the hidden costs of over-caution. Of course, courage isn’t the absence of fear or denial of legitimate risks.
