Leadership Is The Willingness To Go First Into The Unknown

Seneca wrote that 'fire is the test of gold; adversity, of strong men.' Courage (andreia) is a core Stoic virtue. In modern psychology, 'courageous leadership' involves taking calculated risks for the sake of progress. Someone has to break the stalemate of indecision. Today, be the first to propose a solution to a stagnant problem or the first to admit a shared difficulty. Your initiative provides the spark for others.
