![]() Richard Branson is a great case in point. ![]() Mindful of the dangers of unquestioned assumptions, brave leaders are non-conformists who and continually step back from the system to question the norms and beliefs underpinning it. Accordingly, they not only value diversity in their teams and networks – gender, racial, cultural, generational, personality – but they actively foster an environment of inclusiveness so that those who don’t fit the norm feel every bit as valued and heard as those who do. And when they find them? They actively listen and create the psychological safety needed for those with less power to disagree with them and speak candidly. Rather they seek out people whose opinions and mindsets will challenge and broaden their own. ![]() Brave leaders don’t surround themselves with ‘Yes men’ (or women) who’ll confirm their thinking and stroke their ego (and don’t fire people who do!).
