The Art of Grateful Leadership120 ~ The Five Cs - Courage to AcknowledgeSo what is courage? According to Merriam - Webster’s On-Line Dictionary, courage is defined as: “mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty” When one is speaking of Grateful Leadership and the Power of Acknowledgment, I believe courage refers to the internal strength to continue along the path to acknowledging another person.
