The Courage Of Four Skills
Posted in Education, Leadership, Quotes, tagged Belinda Luscombe, Courage, Dr. Brené Brown, Leadership, Persistence, Quotes, Risk Of Failure, Time Magazine, Trust, Values, Vulnerability on February 1, 2019| 2 Comments »
“Courage is a prerequisite for all leadership,” she [Brené Brown] says. And it can be taught. It’s made up of four skills: being vulnerable is the most important, followed by sticking to values, trusting others and persistence. There can be no courage without vulnerability and no vulnerability without the risk of failure. “One of the things that we learned in the research,” she says, “is that people who have the skills to get back up from a fall will engage in smarter risks and more courageous behaviors than people who don’t.” | |
— Brené Brown | |
