Synergy Consultants, LLC — Leadership Tip - Do I Need to Go to Oz to Get Courage?





Leadership Tip Do I Need to Go to Oz to Get Courage? The 70th anniversary of the movie, The Wizard of Oz, is being celebrated this week with a re-release of the film. Dorothy and her friends all went to Oz in search of something different. As we know, the lion wanted to see the wizard to get courage. How courageous are you? What and whom do you draw on for courage? According to Bill Treasurer, author of Courage Goes to Work, there are three buckets of courage. Try: Courage of initiative, trying something new. Taking action. Trust: Courage of inaction or letting go. Use when we delegate. Tell: Courage of voice and assertiveness. Use for difficult conversations or to say uncomfortable things. You do not have to kill a Wicked Witch to gain courage. Ask yourself, "What do I want?" Answering this question at a deep level will give you clarity and desire. For example, if you want a collaborative and productive relationship, you will be more likely to gain tell courage. If you are overwhelmed, you will increase your trust courage. Having a strong focus can help you to strengthen one of these buckets. By doing so you can have the courage to achieve what you want. And you won't have to travel to the Emerald City!
