Carentan
Last week we discussed what a leader looks like, with Lt. Winters as the primary focus. We observed how the values of Faithfulness, Integrity, Respect, and Excellence are important for a leader to develop and act out in their daily life. In this episode, we will discuss another important quality/value/characteristic of leadership; Courage. Which of course raises the question:
What does Courage Look Like?
In this episode, pay close attention to not only Lt. Winters, but also to the soldiers serving with him. Remember that leadership can occur in any rank and courage takes on many forms. Pay attention to the journey of Private Blithe and his interactions with Winters and the other soldiers. Is courage something you are born with...or is it something you develop or earn?
Discussion questions to consider...
- What does courage look like to you?
- In what ways must a leader be courageous?
- What is the relationship between courage and fear?
- Should leaders show fear?
