Courage is not just about heroic acts in grandiose situations—it's about everyday, solid-as-a-rock support and leadership that motivates, inspires, and delivers. It's about taking a risk on a great idea, and it's about seeing opportunities in the day-to-day. Courageous leaders aren't necessarily the bold \"Navy SEALS\" of the workplace; they're the everyday people who lead steadily through rough waters. They don't seek out discomfort, but accept it as part of the process when it occurs, and still deliver exceptional results. This book shows you how to tap into your courage reserves and build your steel. Real stories of everyday leaders show you how it's done, and provide a new lens for seeing \u003ci\u003ereal\u003c\/i\u003e strength in adversity—and practicing it yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTough situations do arise, but great leaders show courage \u003ci\u003eevery day\u003c\/i\u003e.
