“How do leaders face fear head-on? Leaders understand that most fear does not come from external sources. Fear is generated within you, and you must be able to conquer that fear. Even the most confident, calm, and collected leaders will deal with fears. An effective leader will put a spotlight on their fears to move forward to success. They can handle criticism, make solid decisions quickly, achieve desired results, and have difficult discussions when needed without fear. Look fear in the face and act!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
