With thought-provoking case studies, the authors' unique Courage Index questionnaire, and other hands-on tools, The Courage to Act offers a simple yet elegant dynamic approach for assessing, fostering, teaching and learning courage. The authors detail the five factors of courage needed to face adversity, deal with ambiguity, seize opportunities before they get away, and work through rather than avoid conflicts: candor, purpose, will, rigor and risk.
