The hardest part of a managers job isnt staying organized, meeting deliverable dates, or staying on budget. Its dealing with people who are too comfortable doing things the way theyve always been done and too afraid to do things differentlyworkers who are, as author Bill Treasurer puts it, too comfeartable. Such workers fail to exert themselves any more than they have to, equating just enough with good enough. By avoiding even mild challenges, these workers thwart forward progress and make their businesses dangerously safe.To combat this affliction, Treasurer proposes a bold antidote: courage. In Courage Goes to Work, he lays out a comprehensive, stepbystep process that treats courage as a skill that can be developed and strengthened. He Treasurer shows how managers can build workplace courage by modeling courageous behavior themselves, creating an environment where people feel safe taking chances and helping workers deal with fear.To make the concept of courage more concrete, Treasurer identifies what he calls the Three Buckets of Courage: Try Courage, having the guts to take initiative; Trust Courage, being willing to follow the lead of others; and Tell Courage, being honest and assertive with coworkers and bosses. He illustrates each with a variety of vivid realworld examples and offers proven practices for helping your workers keep each bucket full.Aristotle said that courage is the first virtue because it makes all other virtues possible. Its as true in business as it is in life. With more courage, workers gain the necessary confidence to take on harder projects, embrace company changes with more enthusiasm, and extend themselves in ways that will benefit their careers and their company. Courage Goes to Work is the first book to take a systematic approach to developing a vital but overlooked component of business success.
