When is AUDACITY a good trait for a leader?
The bold and audacious leader might be better prepared to motivate the people around him.
Whether the team is within a company, a non-profit organization, an agency or a governmental institution, sometimes the willingness of the leader to take risks is necessary for moving forward and away from complacency. Perhaps not every organization needs such an extreme leader, but many companies need to reinvent themselves and reinvigorate the passion and vision.
This is not the “stay the course” mode.
This is “it is time for a change” attitude.
Of course, many people equate audacity with reckless. Actually, the true definition would define a leader who recognizes the risks and is still willing to be daring and adventurous.
Perhaps to be an entrepreneur, especially in a disruptive technology, the leader needs AUDACITY to develop his ideas and be successful.
