Courage is not just the extraordinary acts of adventurers and visionaries. In workplaces where jobs can change with the stroke of a pen, having the courage to speak and hear the truth, inspire hope, take a stand, and trust in relationships is what defines high performers. With powerful examples of courage in action, 《The Courage to Act》explores the skills you need to embrace change and capitalize on opportunities, inspire courage in your teammates, and respond to your own personal moments of truth with the courage to push ahead and make the right things happen.
