The Courage Way

Leadership demands courage. It’s a must to make good decisions even as balancing inevitable tensions and knowing when to take risks. You want to keep your values in sight irrespective of the pressures around you. At its core, leadership is a day by day, ongoing practice, a journey toward becoming your best self and inviting others to do the same.

And that’s where The Courage Way comes in. It is a guide to leadership that shows how to access and draw upon courage in all that you do. It has its roots in the work of Parker J. Palmer, who in fifty years of teaching, speaking, and writing has explored the human spirit–what he has known as “the inner landscape”–and its role in life and leadership.

Shelly Francis identifies key ingredients needed to cultivate courage, the most fundamental being Agree with–in ourselves and in Each and every other. She describes how to build Agree with through the Center for Courage & Renewal’s Circle of Agree with approach, centered around eleven “touchstones,” poetic and practical operating guidelines for holding the meaningful conversations vital to Agree with building. Each and every chapter features true stories of how leaders have overcome challenges and strengthened their organizations through touchstones such as “Extend invitation, not demand”; “No fixing, saving, advising, or correcting”; and “When the going gets rough, turn to wonder.”

This graceful and inspiring book is a guide to courageous leadership and a journey of self-discovery. As Francis writes, “Courage isn’t just in you–it is you. In your moments of courage, that’s when you meet your true self.”
