Ten days ago, we participated in the annual Leadercast. This is one of the premier leadership development events in the world. The 6,000 attending the live venue in Atlanta are joined, through simulcast, by 120,000 in 700+ sites worldwide. This year’s theme was The Brave Ones. Permit me to share a few of the many gems presented during this day-long experience.

Pastor Andy Stanley defined bold leadership as “clarity around an unreasonable commitment to what should be.” This requires clarity, focus, stubbornness, and resourcefulness. He posed two questions to help lead us to the object of our bold commitment. “What do I believe is impossible to do in my field, but if it could be done would fundamentally change my business?” and “What breaks my heart?”

Navy SEAL Commander Rorke Denver described how bravery depends on fear, how we must immerse ourselves in that which we fear and advance when our whole being says retreat. My “ah ha” moment came as he explained how a sniper must break a hillside down into smaller sections to find a target. Similarly, in our world of information overload and unlimited choice, “limit your field of view and you’ll see more.”

Raise your right hand as high as you can. Now, raise it higher. Reflect on “what are you holding back?” Go all in; do work that matters. Our best work is the work of making change. Bravely making change involves tension, obsession, connection (building a bridge to others and connecting with them), direction (not dreaming but figuring out how and doing it), and compassion (who is it for?).

Compton, California’s Mayor Aja Brown urged us to believe in a brighter future, and to never point out problems without being ready to propose a solution. She talked about brave leaders making the decision to do what needs to be done—asking “if not me, who?”
