Courage

by Soon Loo

Courage is a fundamental value that define who we are as a leader, who we are as a person, and who we are as men and women. During my years at the Harvard Business School, we studied power and influence as leadership principles, but for some reason, we left out Courage, which is such an important quality.
We know we still have courage in us:
> When we know there is a voice inside us that need to be heard, we speak out
> When we know no one else would do the job, we do it
> When we know that something needs to be done, we act
True courage shows up when we act in the face of uncertainties and fears. To really shape our land into a better Asia, we need more men and women with real courage. However, the most important question remains: do YOU have the courage?
To say Yes.
To say No.
To say I dont know the answer.
To say We need to work together
To say I care. To say I Love You.
To say I will act.
