It’s dealing with people who are too comfortable doing things the way they’ve always been done and too afraid to do things differently—workers who are, as author Bill Treasurer puts it, too “com\u003ci\u003efear\u003c\/i\u003etable.” 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.  \u003cbr\u003e To combat this affliction, Treasurer proposes a bold antidote: courage. In \u003ci\u003eCourage Goes to Work,\u003c\/i\u003e he lays out a comprehensive, step-by-step 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. \u003cbr\u003e To make the concept of courage more concrete, Treasurer identifies what he calls the Three Buckets of Courage: \u003ci\u003eTry\u003c\/i\u003e Courage, having the guts to take initiative; \u003ci\u003eTrust\u003c\/i\u003e Courage, being willing to follow the lead of others; and \u003ci\u003eTell\u003c\/i\u003e Courage, being honest and assertive with coworkers and bosses. He illustrates each with a variety of vivid real-world examples and offers proven practices for helping your workers keep each bucket full. \u003cbr\u003e Aristotle said that courage is the first virtue because it makes all other virtues possible. It’s 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. \u003ci\u003eCourage Goes to Work\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to take a systematic approach to developing a vital but overlooked component of business success.","brand":"Berrett-Koehler Publishers","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":58185736126851,"sku":"9781576755013","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9781576755013.jpg?v=1780580878","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/courage-goes-to-work-9781576755013","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
