A Recipe for Bold
Bold isn't fearless. Fearless doesn't exist in the sane, rational leader. Courage certainly does, but courage is different. Courage isn't the absence of fear. It's the conquest of it.In fact, in my experience bold isn't homogenous at all. It's a complex mix of sometimes competing traits. A good analogy this time of year is to think of bold as a kind of stew. A hearty recipe with just a few key ingredients.
Welcome Aboard A Bold Leader!
If doing what you're convinced is the right thing in the face of strong opposition makes you bold, then I guess I'm a bold leader. I never really aspired to boldness, and I didn't choose the title of this project to reflect my own leadership path. I chose it as a clarion call - something to inspire the many leaders, seasoned and new, I hope will read this stuff and grow from it.
