Instilling confidence and a bold, adventurous attitude

“To misquote Mark Twain, it is not what we know that matters, but how we react to what we do not know. Preparation, initiative, intention and character are vital. These qualities help you to make progress in a world of exhausting change and uncertainty, and they enable you to take risks that pay-off.”
(Jeremy Kourdi)

The success of an organisation depends on how effectively it adapts to change, uncertainty and the risk that invariably follows. The problem lies in the fact that the greater the level of change and renewal in an organisation’s environment, the harder it becomes to exercise rigid, top down control. However, encouraging bold individual action and helping people to adapt to change in a way that sustains direction and momentum is a major leadership challenge. The solution lies in helping individuals to become confident and audacious, adapting to new situations and finding new ways to add to the organisation’s success.

This toolkit provides practical techniques to help develop audacity, initiative and success.
