Insights into BRAVE Leadership Masterclass

Here is a summary of insights:

👏Bold leadership isn’t about being alone and aloof, but getting close to people.

🗣️Bold leaders say what needs to be said.

🔮Bold leaders deliver the present while shaping the future.

🤲 Genuine collaboration happens when people assert a position while genuinely wanting to problem solve together. This avoids the “Groan Zone”.

🙋‍♀️ Bold leaders show up, are present, tell the truth and let go of outcomes.

🤝 There needs to be a reasonable connection between who you are and what you do.

💭 People are inspired by a dream and not a plan.

🖼️ An agile framework has a purpose, delivers impact on the short term, excites stakeholders and has a long term objective.

🤔 Use the “vision of… and vision for” exercise.

🪜Lead the “why”, manage the “what” and coach and develop the “how”.

🏆 Reward the brave mistake.

🤦Conscientious inaction happens if you withhold feedback from others (because of fear around a difficult conversation).

🙂 A successful “courageous conversation” happens when you say what’s at stake, how you feel and what could be done. End with clarity, commitment and compassion.

💖Be accurate, brief, clear descriptive and singular.

🚶A leader without followers is simply going for a walk. Cultivate courageous followers.
