Leadership requires courage and perseverance from "summary" of The Leadership Challenge by James M. Kouzes,Barry Z. Posner
Leadership is not for the faint of heart. It requires a great deal of courage and perseverance to lead effectively. Kouzes and Posner emphasize that leaders must be willing to take risks and face challenges head-on. They must have the courage to step outside of their comfort zones and make difficult decisions, even when it is not popular or easy. Perseverance is also a key aspect of leadership. Leaders must be able to weather the storms and push through obstacles that may come their way. They must be able to stay focused on their goals and remain committed to their vision, even when the going gets tough. Courage and perseverance go hand in hand in the world of leadership. Without courage, a leader may not be able to take the necessary risks to move their organization forward. And without perseverance, a leader may not have the resilience needed to overcome the inevitable challenges that will arise. In the face of uncertainty and adversity, leaders must be able to muster the courage to make tough decisions and the perseverance to see those decisions through to fruition. It is this combination of courage and perseverance that distinguishes great leaders from the rest.
