The Importance of Courage for a Visionary Leader

# data[].attributes.body
Arguably, the most important characteristics of a Visionary Leader is Courage. This is because without the courage to push on, how can their vision ever happen? It's more than taking on adversity when it comes shows up on your door step. Courage is when you are putting your vision together and the self doubt starts to raise it's ugly head and says what you are trying to create cannot work. That is when true courage is needed. Outside demons are easy to identify and raise shields against. The internal ones are sneakier and need a deeper courage to truly fend off. This is a skill that everyone possesses, but few hone.  The more it is practiced, the more you will succeed.  The more you succeed, the easier it will be each time.

A sense of humor is very important when it comes to connecting with others. A good laugh is the shortest distance between two people. Even in a professional environment, adding a chuckle into the relationship and having FUN will help develop trust and loyalty. For more information about Rob Bell, please visit www.RobSpeaks.com.

If it was easy, everyone would do it. Since it's not, you need the ability to come up with ways to get it done.

The Importance of Character for a Visionary Leader

If Courage is the most important characteristic, Character is a close second. It is so easy to do what is easy or fun at the moment. So easy to give in to the temptation that happens when others aren't looking. Maybe no one will find out. Then how can it hurt? That's when character is most important. It is imperative that a visionary leader maintains their character. It almost always is found out by someone. If you maintain being the person you want people to know you as, then when others see you being that person when you don't know they're watching, it will make the right impact on the right people and they WILL remember. This MUST be taught. This goes against so many aspects of human nature that it needs to be instilled at a young age and encouraged from parent to child; teacher to student; and peer to peer.

By definition, if you are a leader you are not alone. Without your team to help with the load, it will quickly become too much for one to bear.

Courage is more that just being brave in the face of perceived danger.  It is the willingness to continue on the right path despite the adversities.

If all you do is deal with the here and now, you will never move forward. Without planning for the future, you will not be prepared when it gets here.

Without the ability to share your vision, you will be fighting alone.
