Overview

Leadership demands courage. You have to make good decisions while balancing inevitable tensions and knowing when to take risks. You need to keep your values in sight regardless of the pressures around you. At its core, leadership is a daily ongoing practice, a journey toward becoming your best self and inviting others to do the same. And that's where The Courage Way comes in. It's a guide to leadership that shows how to access and draw upon courage in all that you do. It has its roots in the work of Parker J. Palmer-who, in fifty years of teaching, speaking, and writing, has explored the human spirit and its role in life and leadership-and in the Center for Courage & Renewal's Circle of Trust approach. Its exploration of the inner life of leadership will equip and inspire leaders in any setting so that they can orient themselves, their lives, and their work toward greater courage, wholeness, and integrity.
