Leading With Emotional Courage: How to Have Hard Conversations, Create Accountability, And Inspire Action On Your Most Important Work – Peter Bregman

"If we're willing to feel everything, we can do anything."

Great leadership aligns teams, inspires action, and achieves results, it sounds simple, but it is a challenge that is not for the faint of heart. What makes it hard is not knowing what to say or do; it is whether you are willing to experience the discomfort, risk, and uncertainty of saying or doing it. In other words, the most critical challenge of leadership is emotional courage. If you are willing to feel everything, you can do anything. When I read this quote the first time, it felt like Peter gave me the words to describe the journey I had embarked on when I left the corporate world to become who I really am.

Leading with Emotional Courage provides practical, real-world advice for building your emotional courage muscle. By building the courage to say the necessary but difficult things, you become a stronger leader and leave the "Should Haves" behind. Emotional courage is what sets great leaders apart from the rest. It gets results. It cuts through the distractions, the noise, and the politics to solve problems and get things done. This book is packed with actionable steps you can take to start building these skills.

• Have the courage to speak up when others remain silent
• Be stable and grounded in the face of uncertainty
• Respond productively to opposition without getting distracted
• Stand in the face of others' anger without shutting down or getting defensive

Leading with Emotional Courage guides you to build your emotional courage, exercise it effectively, and create an environment where people around you take accountability to get hard things done.
