Fearless Leadership is just as much a requirement of (and benefit to) the artist and inventor as it is the warrior.
Because fearless leaders tend to be associated with Dr. Cathy Greenberg's hard-core corporate consulting as well as her work with elite military and para-military units, some people mistakenly assume that the model is more suited towards operational-driven companies than innovation-driven or “creative” organizations.
This is a mistake
It's a mistake to dismiss the Fearless Leaders Group Coaching Model for "creative class" workers because the "risks" taken in genuine exploration, invention, and creative work are inherently fear-inducing, which is especially the case when this is done in a group work environment.
And that means the organizational culture and the command climate fostered by leadership can either encourage and inspire courageously innovative work, or they can (unintentionally) hinder and impair this work through Emotional & Social Intelligence deficits and/or fear-driven behavioral patterns.
What the research has found is that creative companies experience significant benefits when they focus on applying the findings of Positive Psychology, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence to their leadership and organizational development.
So you’ll find that the Fearless Leaders Group can meet your organization where you are with training that’s inherently customized to your unique needs and goals.

Fearless Leaders tackles (and teaches) one of the most complex attributes of outstanding leaders throughout history, moral courage.
—Amy Edmondson
That's a tough one, moral courage is hard to teach and it's such an important quality for leaders. If we could get more people to step up to use moral courage more often - we would see better results.

After having the pleasure of recording an On Demand Seminar with Dr. Cathy Greenberg, I was astonished by her ground-breaking perspective on leadership, and the role she takes herself as an inspirational leader. Not only did I learn to sharpen my focus, she also showed me how to achieve greater confidence and courage to become an inspirational leader myself. She was truly a pleasure to work with, and I am thrilled that she accepted to be a faculty at the Gazelles Growth Institute.
