Small Acts of Managerial Courage Build Confidence, Trust, and Connection. What if you approached the new year with just a bit more managerial courage? Could you take on a new challenge?

When I think of the most courageous leaders I’ve worked with over my career, it’s not the BIG decisions they made or the SINGLE TIME they made

Successful businesses, churches, and entrepreneurial efforts are not built on a single person’s back. Instead, success takes the efforts of many people. People that are rarely, if ever, honored. Warren Buffet once said, “Good leaders make people feel that they’re at the very heart of things, not the periphery.” What does this mean?

Have you heard this from your managers (or said it yourself)? “My people aren’t coachable. They’re defensive, it’s like they have a wall up. They ignore feedback and just won’t listen.” Sometimes people can’t grow because they’re not in the right position or they are actually incapable. Leaders take responsibility for the legitimate reasons people might ignore feedback.

From what I’m seeing and hearing, most of those reasons can be summed up with two questions: Do I matter? Does what I do matter? Both of those questions really turn on whether or not people feel engaged with their work in meaningful ways.
