Leaders who show courage are almost always supported by their staff. These are the leaders who venture into unchartered territory, commit to change and demonstrate integrity. They are respected by their teams and their stakeholders and most always seen as trustworthy allies. Brave leadership is built on a clear sense of self and on the cornerstones of tangible values.</p>
