Tuesday: Courage Heightened by Encouragement

Welcome back to our week-long exploration of courage in leadership. Yesterday, we discussed the importance of having a purpose. Today, we focus on how encouragement can elevate your courage and that of your team.

Courage Heightened by Encouragement

Encouragement from others can amplify our own courage. As a leader, your words and actions can boost your team's confidence and bravery. Celebrate small victories and provide support during tough times. This creates an environment where courage thrives.

Reflection:

- How have you encouraged your team in the past week?

- Write down specific instances where your encouragement made a difference.

Interactive Exercise:

Choose at least one team member to encourage today. Acknowledge their efforts, provide positive feedback, and cheer them on. Document the interaction and its impact on both of you.

BFF Model Integration: Freedom

- Reflect on how giving encouragement provides your team with the freedom to innovate and take risks.

- Plan a small project or task that allows your team to exercise their freedom and creativity, then share the outcomes.

Your Turn:

Think about the role of encouragement in your leadership journey. How has it helped you and your team find courage? What new insights have you gained from today's exercise, and how will you apply them moving forward? Share your experiences and stories to inspire others.
