As a leader, learning to be fearless is invaluable. The fearless leader is not afraid of what others think. He doesn’t get paralyzed by fear. The fearless leader thinks outside the box. He fears nothing and changes when necessary for improvement. The fearless leader doesn’t use or think about words like “challenge” or “problem,” but instead talks of “opportunities” and “blessings.”
The Fearless Culture
Several years ago, I was a missionary for my church. During that time, I spent 12 hours a day teaching people about Jesus Christ. I spent time walking up and down the streets and going door-to-door to find people to teach. People regularly ignored me and/or reject me because of the message I shared. Sometimes people even yelled and were very rude.
In that environment, I was very fear or discouraged at first because of the rejection. I didn’t like being rejected. The leaders that I worked under, however, created a fearless culture. Each week he taught us the importance of being fearless. His goal was to change our mindset so we only thought about being fearless.
