One of my colleagues sent a direct email to our HR Manager questioning the HR Manager competencies on handling salary increment issue. Definitely, he was called to the HR Manager office and talk face to face to the manager.
I do respect him. He has the Courage Factor, a salute to you my friend !
Where does courage come from? Is it innate? Are people born with courage? We know that temperament plays a vital role in how we behave. Are you passive or active? Are you sensitive or insensitive? Can you change much of what you appear to be? Are you risk averse or risk prone? Underlying and paramount to being a leader is the quality of courage
Let's look at some of the ways you can test your courage quotient. Suppose someone in your office doesn't fit into the team. Either her behavior is not acceptable to the team or her effort is not up to standard. How does the team treat her? Are snide comments made about her behind her back? Is she ignored at meetings and made to feel like an outcast? As a member of that team, do you go along with the general consensus and join in the subtle and not so subtle harassment of this individual?
Does this take courage? Have you thought about the consequences to you - both personally and professionally - from taking such a stand? It will require a great deal of courage to confront the group mentality that has embarked on this journey. If you decide to do so, you will be able to see if you have the courage required to be a leader.
