Even seasoned leaders may resist documenting these. Why?<br \/>\nA. There may be feelings of anxiousness when putting one\u2019s thoughts on paper, sharing them with others, having them critiqued, supported, and actioned. There is a fear of trying something new and unknown and wondering if results will be obtained.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fear #2 &#8211; Fear of Delegation and building a Collaborative Team<\/strong><br \/>\nQ. Why don\u2019t we act as a team?<br \/>\nA. Without shared and agreed upon vision, mission and goals, team members may not understand priorities and strategy and how they can collaborate to achieve even more successes. Delegation shows trust, and trust is the foundation for teamwork.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fear #3 &#8211; Fear of accountability and following processes<\/strong><br \/>\nQ. What happens if we aren\u2019t accountable for our actions and processes?<br \/>\nA. There is a need to define processes and required roles&nbsp; and assess what can be done to increase effectiveness. We need ownership and we need repeatable processes for growth to occur.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fear #4 &#8211; Fear of failure<\/strong><br \/>\nQ. Why do many leaders maintain a low profile and take minimal risks?<br \/>\nA. No one likes to fail or make mistakes so not taking action or any chances sometimes feels like the right thing to do. It isn\u2019t!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fear #5 &#8211; Fear of Success<\/strong><br \/>\nNelson Mandela said:<br \/>\nOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, \u2018Who am I to be brilliant gorgeous, talented and fabulous?\u2019 Actually, who are you not to be?<\/p>\n<p>Good question!
