Leaderly Quote: We All Have Doubts…
By Jo Miller
In her article, Five X-Factors that Mark Out a Leader, Nina Simosko, President and CEO of NTT Innovation Institute Inc. (NTT i3) shared that leadership can (and should) be found at every level of a business. She expands on five qualities that mark out a leader, one of which is fearlessness.
“We all have doubts,” wrote Simosko, ” but leaders must be willing to back themselves. This can be characterized as fearlessness, but I prefer to think about this as imaginative risk taking. The leader must be able to weigh up the options, assess the risks imaginatively, and then take decisions.”
What will you do to demonstrate fearlessness today?
