The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. – Franklin D. Roosevelt

In leadership, fear is not helpful. Leadership means doing something first. In other words: being comfortable with discomfort. COURAGE.

Churchill said: “Courage is the foremost oft he virtues, for upon it all others depend.”

Listen to the story of a leading tax attorney, who has recently been promoted to head the tax section of her law firm. She is an excellent tax lawyer, but is apprehensive about whether she would succeed in her new role as leader, rather than doer.

She was promoted for a reason and her fears are probably unfounded. She enjoys a splendid reputation as a business developer and has great support staff. Listen to how she is dealing with the challenge of putting herself in vulnerable situations and stretching her resources to help her staff succeed in her path.

Question of the Day: What is your stretch situation that would allow you to grow?
